They’re terrible. 130k for an FO and 200k for a Captain. Throw in the lack of support staff and all the other issues the airline is facing, people are frustrated and leaving (or not prepared to rejoin). Additionally the conditions on offer overseas are luring a lot of crew away.

The conditions are insulting considering the struggle involved with getting to a major airline in Australia. You’re better off becoming a tradie, train/bus driver or working at the mines. You’ll earn just as much (without a 100k debt) and also have a lot more certainty in life. You also have a lower chance of losing your job in a black swan event unlike aviation.
