If you live in the Midwest it's very comfortable. If you live in LA or San Fransisco it's a struggle.
Thanks ... I will be looking at a first officers position so starting from the bottom of the barrel I guess. I am banking on the signup bonus basically otherwise I think without it I will be on 35K ish at max. However if I do get the bonus as promised then it would be arounf 70-75K mark for the first year. I hear things in general are cheap and so is food and fuel. Still dont know where I will be living ... But thanks for your reply.
