there has been considerable hiring in recent t8mes.
hours vary depending on where you are based, and vary considerably.
upgrades? I don’t believe anyone can give you a definitive answer on that one. Some in a few years, some more than 10. It largely depends on how flexible you are with location and your performance (obviously).
regional or mainline? Again depends on location. From BNE we cover most of Aus, including west coast and NT. Sydney, Melbourne Adelaide, Canberra are r3gulars with regional ports as well. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Hamilton Island Cairns etc.
im not overly familiar with F/O pay scale and don’t have the info handy, some one else can assist there.
