It really just depends on how much you want to work. One guy I know made about 60k his first year, but he worked for it. He is the type that picked up trips on open time for OT and things of that nature. And I know people that have made their mins because they didn't want to do extra work. I am not sure what the actual average is though.

I pick up flying twice a month (2 locals at about 6-7 hrs credit) and walk away with around $2,600/month. If I don't it's around $2,200/month. Still on reserve as well and have about $100/paycheck taken out for health insurance.
Hope that helps. All after taxes.

I made $44k or somewhere near that and busted my rear doing it. I was four months on CRJ reserve and picked up OT whenever I could. $60k is really hard to make, and you would have to be here almost five - six years as an FO to make that kind of money.

I would count on this. More on if you can pick up open time. If you live in base you can pick up 1 day trips even on reserve. As long as it doesn't mess with your 30 hrs off every 7 days of duty. Thats been my main limiter on reserve. Of course I don't fly much on reserve. So working the odd 1 day to get above guarantee is pretty mellow. I also picked up the 7500$ bonus for being previously typed.

Quick question.
I keep hearing different numbers on the hours you need before training. I keep hearing both 1450 and 1475 TT and the rest you get in training. Just wondering which was "more correct".
Im closing in quickly, and just wanted to know for planning reasons.

You can credit up to 25hrs of SIM toward the Multiengine Class requirement of ATP hence 1475, but up to 100 hours toward the TT requirement, I believe. But you will not get 100hrs of sims here hence 1450.
