Duty time

Hey there PJ, how are you doing?

Nice detailed information you posted here, but do you mind if I expand the 670 BD?

So,basic 1675 BD (if you're married).

On top of this:

Time away from base (like a cab) is 1,5 BD per hour. 200/300 hours of time away equals: 300/450 BD. So, this depends of your roster and I think 300 hours of time away is the top scale one might expect. Usually less.

As for overtime, some people always get them, some others don't.

One thing is certain, you will have to complement your poor housing allowance with 150-200 a month to live in a decent place. There are many threads about GF Housing.
Another point is schooling. You will have to complement it as well, heavily.

Be aware of this when you are calculating your budget.

My impression is that as a Captain you can afford a good std, however for a FO with family things are different.
