Wow! The minimum wage went up to $511 per week for the lowest paid workers. Most of these are only allowed to work a 38 hour week so that is $13.45 an hour. The GA pilots award, negotiated by the AFAP, gives $30066 pa equating to $578 per week. Now considering that most pilots/slaves are required to work 45 hour weeks in regards to the CAO 48 maximum of 90 hour fortnights, that is $12.84 an hour. Awesome. Oh I forgot that is only for those fortunate enough to be working with one of the minority that actually pay there pilots by the award on a full time basis. Yeah, like I said awesome.... Well that is 5% kick in the head, oh and don't forget those interest payments on your loans to get that job..... Go you good thing AFAP, Go!!!
