I am a third year FO/IO and I will make about $70,000 with very little overtime. Short call, the 2 hour callout is 4 days on 4 days off, so you get 15 days off right away. Long call is 12 day minimum off.
I used to tell scheduling that I would prefer the longer trips on long call, instead of Caribbean turns, and it worked out really well for me. Nothing is perfect though. I have had a 8 day, turn into a 10 day, turn into a 12 day. Thats what happens when you don't have reserves in Europe. I could have turned it down, but it worked out in my favor to do it.
I have a family too, and I like having on average 15 days off a month. Most trips are commutable, but not all.
Best of luck. If you know somebody here, call them, you really need a inside referral to get hired.
