Which is why turnover is so high for young GA pilots. The average house price in Melbourne and Sydney is now $1 million. I know some GA pilots up north who actually have had job offers down south, and they could not actually go because the low ball salary on offer, they actually could not survive after the rent is paid! They went to PNG instead.
Whilst I actually enjoyed my stint in that level job many moons ago compared to my current job at the other end of the scale which is just miserable ****, unfortunately for bills, mortgage, kids, more bills, I’d love to stay around but I need to sort of survive...
