Have just been talking to (30 minutes ago) a Jetstar NZ F/O, he has had the job for 6 months and came from GA. Now lives in NZ. He tells me he is on $164,00 PA.
I have read on these forums before about how underpaid J* pilots are. Well let me tell you that I have lost
all sympathy for you pilot types if that is your starting rate, and clearly it is, what planet do you guys come from if you think you are worth more than that as second dicky? Words fail me, I am only a humble engineer, but would be willing to kill for that sort of renumeration. Dont winge any more.
