award wages
what is the correct award wage rate for pilots? and is there any legal requirement to pay at that rate (if it even exists)? or do operators just pay whatever they feel like because they know their pilots don't have enough job security to complain? the reason i ask is because i know instructors who get paid $15-$20 a flying hour and as all instructors know each instructional hour requires as much time in briefings and other preflight prep so at the end of the day when compared to duty times they're earning MacDonald's wages.
