Won’t happen every month but I will quite easily make 20k+/month going forward. My February pay check was $22.7k.

Not trying to brag here, just adding truth and reality to those playing down what you can make at US carriers in 2022. And I am making far less than some of the boys and girls are making at the big players, but I am personally very happy with what I have and I make sure to appreciate it.
Not saying your a liar. You wouldn’t have gone DEC i to a legacy, and unless it’s an airline I don’t know about then I do find it a bit hard to believe. I’ve made that money too albeit in china for many years. Unfortunately coming back to the states and having to pay taxes truly sucked.

When you say large aircraft how large are we talking about?
