Hi Fhead ( have you been told today ? ),
I understand what you are saying but i feel there are bigger fish to fry than ASIC cards and CASA fee's.
T & C's within our industry are probably at the top, with house prices the way they are how are Pilots supposed too pay off a house and feed a family.
How do we get these dodgy operators out of GA ? ( there are some fantastic organisations within GA but they have trouble competing with these cut-throat rule bending aviation enthuasists that start aviation companies ).
Comparing pilots wages to the mining industry is a really poor suggestion, but comparision to an office worker, perhaps, there is some interesting inconsistencies to be seen.
If not for the AFAP's jobs page, i would have never heard of them.
Loss of licence insurance and free legal representation for a meager 1%, that sells itself, why then are we here in this topic ?.
