I flew 650 hours per year for EasyJet on Parc Flexicrew, at an average of 2 standby duties a month and was on the highest of the three pay brackets (worked out through factored hours)
650 * 67 + 24 * 260 = 49950 / annum.
With the Irish tax scam system you'll lose about a third to tax. Bear in mind that winter months will bring in almost nothing and you get no holiday pay, no loss of license, no bonus, no share scheme, no pension, no control over your roster and an uncertain future.
You will get to fly shiny new aircraft with great people, but that will be tempered when you fly with he small minority of Captains who hate your guts for being Flexicrew. Fortunately not a problem at my base (where all the Captains were brilliant fun to work with) but definitely a problem elsewhere.
Having said all that it did provide me with the experience I needed to join BA but deep down a bit of me misses the orange airline and wishes they had a more mature attitude towards recruitment.
