GA to the airlines
From memory, most GA jobs paid under $50k, some only $20k and you flew around in a beaten up piston single VFR.

Yet most full time Jetstar Captains will earn at least $250k and some even towards $300k, for flying a "JET", the same aircraft type used by the legacy airlines. How can this be GA?

This is whilst the average Australian salary is under $100k, yet somehow $250k+ is supposed to be GA and below the poverty line? (Yes, apparently Jetstar pilots are below the poverty line I heard once).
