IIRC 23k US per year is more in line with what turboprop f/o's at CAL were making, perhaps after taxes. Hopefully he'll chime in with a clarification. In any case 23k TTD per month is about 45k USD per year. Not as drastic, but my son was graduated with a BSME and was making more than that at age 22 - so I'll stick to the gist of my last post.
