We all love to fly but at what price?
Are they? They’re still a lot more than the $0 a lot of redundant airline pilots around the world are making. Those numbers are still more than a lot of GA pilots would be making, the traditional recruitment source for airlines. Still more than a lot of turboprop pilots are making.
For a lot of pilots in aviation those figures will be a step up to fly a Jet in Australia. I think a lot of suitable pilots in the industry would love to fly at that price, especially as the current market is dictating.
