Pile-its (capital Pee) for the RFDS (or any other aeromed organisation doing single pilot stuff in tubrprops) need to be paid at least 160-170k if the companies want to keep an experience base. Plain and simple. This is what a level 3 FO grosses with Virgin and is more than fair considering all the extra duties and risks involved in the operation (7 sector unscheduled night, refuel your own aircraft, top up oxygen in addition to towing it into and out of the hangar). If the companies in question do not think this figure is appropriate, they have to be comfortable with the higher cost of training and a higher risk of incident/accident due to pilot inexperience and turnover.
i also don’t think deja vu’s posts are aggressive or holding on too tight. They are repsonding to posters who seem to want to make the argument personal. But what would I know, I have to hold on tight, it’s so small you see.
