Not paid during training? You must be joking.
Yet Southwest requests 1000 hours of Turbine PIC...... and they get it. For an F.O. position. Even they pay during training, and their pay rates are the equivalent of Qantas A380, on a 737. The Legacy carriers are higher. Is it a miracle ? Or a natural reaction to industry changes and the new pilot economy.
(Not having a go at you Pilotchute. I know you’re just shining a light on the ridiculously low rates in ‘Australasia’. There’s far more ‘Asia’ than ‘Australia’ in the whole equation - if you ignore the over payed Irish midget running the show.)
