If not, that is the “really now” numbers to use. No one knows your specific tax rates, so no one can give you an accurate answer based on your situation. But if you multiply those rates X 75 X 12, you will get your base pay for the year. Reality is that you will make more (we typically credit more than 75, even if we TRY to only fly 75), and then there’s per diem (M&IE, technically). Add to that that anyone wanting to work more than 75 hours typically can. 100-130 hours of credit is pretty common, at least once you have a line.
Taxes are lower this year than last, so that will help you take more home, but that’s true at ANY job, not just EDV.
And don’t forget your $10K bonus first year. So that’s $45K + $10K + say $3K M&IE, or $58K. Figure 65-70% after taxes, depending on your situation, and you will bring home around $37,700~$40,600.
Personally, I do not tell people that they can make “big bucks” because there is no way to predict the future. In the examples above, one can see that much larger numbers than mine are possible. But mine are the MINIMUM you will make, basically what you can count on if you are sick, the music stops here, no extra flying, etc. If you get here and want to make more, it is currently very possible to do so.

Maybe I'm going from past life, but this seems too good to be true, instant upgrade, etc.
