Pretty well done video.

CFI thinks ‘going out in Nashville’!
Airline pilot thinks ‘...min credit day’

I think it's about $1200 a check after tax/ deductions after training with monthly guarantee. Maybe a tad more. I think training pay was about a grand a check.

If you want a more precise amount for various scenarios (training, min guarentee, typical months breaking guarentee, etc) checkout the paycheck calculator at this link. It accounts for various taxes, deductions (i.e. medical insurance, 401k, etc.).

You will make much more than monthly guarantee once you are off reserve. I average about 90 a month.

I made $58K before tax in the 12 mos after IOE as a CRJ FO living in base (ORD). Average credit was around 95 hrs/month with 12 days off. After tax/benefits $43K.

Year 2 i've been lazy with around 77 hrs credit per month, and making around 1250 per check after taxes/benefits. 17 days off per month

Nice job first year. But 1250 take home per check 2nd year, even at 77 hours credit 2nd year guys deserve more than that!

In comparison, a second year FO at Republic would be making a guaranteed MINIMUM of 75 hours a month at $50/hr with per Diem at $2.05 per hour and be eligible for a 401k match of up to 6% with free life, vision,and dental insurance and a MINIMUM of 12 days off.

That's a minimum of about $1900 take home twice a month. More typically, you'd expect to make about $50K salary plus another $6-7K in per Diem as a second year FO, with the ability to pick up more if you elected to pick up premium pay at $75/hr if you wanted to pick up open time.

Skywest is certainly a LONG way from industry leading pay. And while I'd agree with Rick7777 that it's worth giving up some pay to be able to live out West, LaGuardia doesn't exactly strike me as out West.
