Pay rate is available from recruiting.

Flying allowance is paid upon qualification and increases with experience.

An AAAvn Capt with a few years seniority has been flying for between 6-10 years, is drawuing about $65000 salary plus approx $20000 allowance, plus an extra $4000 odd for being in a flying posiiton.

Govt does not get much change out of $100 000, except for outrageous tax implications.

Most days I felt guilty taking the money - some days (only a few) I reckoned you could have paid me five times that and i STILL would have thrwon my toys out of the cot and sulked.

Come on in, the work is good, the money excellent and Townsville is lovely.
