Well I went back and read every post including my own.
Qduck didn't say pilots should be paid 38K as jet Captain he said if he was he wouldn't be worse off than he is now. That was my perception of his intent, you're welcome to yours. While he may be a little emotional I think you're paranoid.
Where did I say I was 'worth more'?
Where did I say 'higher net than anyone can earn in oz'?
Just to fill in the gaps for you radnav I am paid about the same gross as I would be line flying the same aircraft in say the USA or OZ.
I just don't have an onerous tax burden like Australia.
Am I 'special'? Nope.
Lucky to be in the right place at the right time with the right contacts and the right experience?
YUP.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree lest this thread be hijacked and turn into a slanging match.
I think you're a tosser and you think I'm wrong/can't read or whatever....fair enough!
Chuck.
PS VH registered aircraft so I'm not taking a job from a local either!
PPS If you said the way some beancounters want to drive this industry we MIGHT have a point of agreement.
