Their actual typical monthly hours would be more informative than their contractual guarantee.

Looks like the actual total at Mesa (including per diems, etc.) was $20,183 last year[1].

It says on that chart that they did the same thing as your above comment, multiplying the guaranteed hours by the minimum hourly wage.

It could well be that they all work the minimum hours. I doubt it, this would be more expensive for the airline.

Well they're limited by the FAA to 1000 hours / year, so they'd have to be averaging 83 hours/month at most.
