Some sensible posting here.
Some important points.
1. GA pilots get paid about the same as teachers. (I was married to one for 36 years, and usually she earned a little less than me.)
If you are not getting what you are really worth then ask yourself If why.
2. Flying GA aircraft in the outback is an honourable profession. GA pilots provide essential services to people who have feww alternatives. The roads have not been built yet, and there will never be enough money to build the thousands of km of road that are needed. Most newly qualified CPL's are out of their depth in GA.
3 Turbine powered aircraft are too big and costly for a lot of the necessary work. Only larger communities, semi government agencies, or protected organisations can afford to operate turbines. (how many PC12's TBM700's are operating commercially?)
4 GA has been flooded with new pilots for decades, and has been falsely considered only a training ground for airline pilots.(Our airlines are bludgers. They will not train their own pilots.)
So there are very few experienced GA pilots, and there is a high accident rate because of this.
5 When people treat GA with the respect it deserves, then safety will improve.
