SH F/Os rostered for about 65-70hrs but with reserve call-outs etc can easily get to an average of 75 per roster without trying. $215-233k on first year rates with the bonus paid and throw in $15-20k allowances. F/Os who chase work will make $250-280k.
Work about half the time, not many BoC flights (although that’ll probably increase as SH transitions to the A321) and maybe 8-9 overnights a roster at the bottom of the rotation, 0 at the top if you want, maybe 4-5 nights away per roster overall.
Plus the biggest advantage - you’re on a seniority list where you can bid for command and long haul and clean up even more. Have a bit of variety in flying too every now and then, unless starting work at 4am to fly to the Pilbara and back for the rest of your career excites you.
