I understand that professional pilot salaries at the entry level are modest but that's ridiculous, considering they're unlikely to hire someone with a fresh CPL and the amount a candidate would have invested already in their training. The minimums for a non-type rated FO from the ad I could find are:
- 1000 hours of total flying experience;
- 300 hours Multi Engine IFR PIC;
- Hold an IPC (minimum 3 renewals);
- Multi-crew Cooperation Course (MCC);
I hire people straight out of high school in Customer Service who are paid more than that! The average salary in Australia now
is around $92k now. Surely pilots can do better than this?
