Most guys I know don't even make ends meat. You can probably search each airline's thread to get a glimpse of each, or just look under APC's airline profiles (probably quicker and easier). You can do the math but figure $22-26/fh (rough jet average) with 70-75hr min. Some reserves go above min but there's a lot that don't. If you take out taxes and insurance then you'll probably be standing in the food stamp line. Research next time before you post or you'll end up getting drilled from some of the more elegant users.
You're right about the taxes I apologize for missing that. I was merely trying to point out the slight hypocrisy of the bolded sentence above.

Wow, guess I picked the wrong regional. 5+ years on the 700-900 averaging around 85-90 hrs with perdiem I come home with close to $2900 per month. Most at my airline in Atlanta are still on reserve after 3.5 years. And I know they are making around 20% less.
Sad, I guess I really have nothing but about $300-500 per month to lose if I leave and start over flying a turbo prop for someone else. Hmmmm.....

At CommutAir we're paid bi-weekly, but I was taking home an average of $1,600-1,700 per 4 week spread on first year pay. This was for a min credit line, guarantee only.

Come on man do something for your self!!!
I just posted around 2,500 averaging 90 hrs a month at Eagle first year pay.
SKW pays 3 dollars lees an hour for the Brasilia so lets see 90*3=270, so you would get paid around 2,200 buck if you fly 90hrs. If you fly less, well you can do the math.
*And if the Bro is @ Lakes well, you can multiply these numbers by .6 and you will have your numbers!

I'm a little confused here. Can you clarify what this pick up option is in your contract.
