If Air North offered some decent terms there would be (some) type rated guys willing to come home. They've also flown the aircraft in far more challenging conditions than Air North encounter.
Coming from experience, the pay and conditions are similar to all other regionals in Australia. It is a resonable salary for the role. Your not wide body captains so don't expect that sort of pay.
Those complaining that it's not enough, well anyone can say that in any industry, all it says is that one needs to rethink their spending habits.
For those complaining that they can't get a look in, your time will come. If responses are slow it's because everyone is spread thin. I had waited a lot longer waiting for other regionals.
If your being knocked back because of hours it's for a good reason. You have to have the hours for command even for an FO position otherwise when your seniority comes up for a command they won't be able to upgrade you as they don't have the resources to run ICUS programs.
