Instructing Jobs

I dunno!
Yeah the pay is crap, but at the end of the day, what wages can the industry support.
I've been at both ends of the scale, my first boss paid me about $14000 for a year full time, but back then you considered yourself lucky to get a job with less than 500 hours. Now there are companies that do pay above the award, but they can't get people to relocate out of the major centres to work in a good job. The good jobs are not in the big cities, they are out bush with the smaller flying schools and charter companies!
