Wages are going up in general at Coastwatch. When I was there my flying was typically limited by 90 in 14 duty limits and less frequently by my FAID score. Most duties were 10 hours for about 7 hours of flying. The 14 day limit meant you couldn’t usually do more than 9 duties in 14 days. My annual hours were typically around 650. This was with a reasonable crew numbers. My biggest year was 800 hours in 2007 when the company was facing similar crewing problems to now. Work life balance would be fine except for the bases. If you can adapt to the Broome or Darwin lifestyle then it could be a good career job. If not, you will always be looking for a way to leave. They have offered commuting options lately but don’t know if that is for FOs or not.
