If you’re desperate for a command or a big bird then so be it.

However most FOs that have been around a while are netting 9k plus a month and have their base of choice and a reasonable lifestyle.

Once the rostering and PBS are sorted and the annual leave peak slots are realistic, it’ll be a good place to be.

Lets also face it, a WB FO in the sandpit doesn’t earn a great deal more and there is a huge trade off for the privilege of flying something big. If you’re single it’ll be a great gig, until you’re married.

China - have a read of some of the experiences of guys there. It’s a 3 year cash grab before you shoot yourself and get the heck out of there. Then you’ll be kicking yourself for a career at the star when the cash runs out.

There’s no garden of aviation eden out there. There’s just varying amounts of **** in the sandwich.

Get a hobby, get married. Have some kids and buy a boat.
