While there’s hundreds of highly experienced pilots driving buses, there will be very little need to put low time pilots in the right seat in Australia
Well that all depends on what you might get paid. A few people I have spoken to recently are seriously thinking of walking away from aviation as their previous career/business actually is paying the same or more than their aviation one at the moment. Whilst they will probably make more money in the long run flying, the perception is that it isn't worth the hassle of everything that goes with it. Weekends off, No Sim, No CVRs, No nightshift etc for 75-85% of pilot pay is starting to look appealing to some people. Additional to that if you are in business your tax bill decreases somewhat.
