Trap I know you are paid well and good luck you guys have earn't it. I too am happy with my lot in that Dept. I am wondering if Rob Rich's comments of late will at some point become a reality and hence will this result in better pay and conditions as future contracts are negotiated or will the same old same old prevail?
A recent contract for EMS in SA which required pilots to be multi type endorsed (AS350, 412 and something else) + NVG experience only resulted in a $75k ish package with a difficult rostering system.
Might be better to be the owner of an aviation business in the future rather than an employee, however we all all know how to make a million dollars in aviation, start with 5 million.
Mind you wouldn't mind a sea plane biz in Tassy cruising the Derwent doing pax drop offs, transfers and fishing charters. Then I could buy a house boat and moor my aircraft alongside. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yikes!!!!
