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

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.
