For Jr guys. If you only count CA's leaving it's probably less than 8. So far, since June 1st, I've only moved up 20-25 slots and that's over 3 months. Plus in the almost 7 years I've been here I've moved up less than 600 total slots, that less than 8 per month. Yes it will pick up but not till next year.

Probably about $2400/month with per diem on the RJ: $22x90 hours +$500/month per diem.

I would not rely on perdiem that much since you will probably be on reserve your first year on the jet and your perdiem will vary. If you are coming from another 121 carrier then you probably already know this. Just some food for thought.

I would probably take the EMB-120 (if offered) since you will have a better chance of holding a line quicker and the pay is the same on both airplanes the first year and then your perdiem has more solidity.

Its too hard to tell, you don't know how much hiring will be done after you. Bases are changing, you never know when flying will increase/decrease in any given base.

MSP is the most junior overall, but newhires have been going to ORD, DEN in the last few classes.

Since MSP is slated to get more 700/900 flying this fall i imagine MSP not being so junior anymore.

Guys on the Brasilia side definitely don't make that. I started six months ago and have never broken the 75 hour reserve guarantee even in the summer months. In June I flew 9 hours total. I only got an extra 9 hours of per diem added onto my 75 guarantee. My room mate only flew 5 hours in August. Both of us are on first call. The reserves aren't flying at all for some reason.

The chief pilot had to assign me a 4 day trip to get me up to 100 hours so I didn't miss my 100 in 120 requirement. I came within a few days of missing it.

Per diem is all I rely on when I'm on reserve. Months where I don't fly very often I'm getting $650/check with reserve guarantee. When I fly more the per diem can really add up. I've never been lucky enough to break guarantee. I keep myself on call first trying to get the per diem from getting trips until I can get a line.
