Is the pay really that bad?

$650 a week

Bloody hell, i know regionals pay crap but far out. I earn more at woolies working as a supervisor for 38hrs a week as a 17 year old!!

I know its not about the money but you need to be able to afford to live on the basics even doing something youre passionate about. I would love to know what my instructors are on....but they wont tell me.

You pretty much need to have 2 jobs to be a pilot, well thats the way it seems to be headed which is sad. Hate to know what it will be like in 10-15 years time.........................
