It is promising though that many flight training organisations are now paying at least the award salary for their instructors. It is good as it means that people who are recieving low casual wages can find somewhere that is willing to pay them what theyre worth!!!! Of course there are still places that are paying and treating their instructors like crap
- but the instructors are realising that they can get better conditions elsewhere - and hopefully soon enough there will be more schools paying what they should be!
For anyone wondering what decent conditions are out there, im hearing is between $35 and 45K for a few places for a grade 2 Instructor. Obviously not great - but better than the past.
So for anyone seemingly "stuck" on crappy wages - go take a look around, and see if you can find some better conditions. Good luck!
