Recent applicants for direct entry twin drivers (because no one in company has the hours yet to be moved up!) with baron and cheiftain endo's had minimal time on type, but a start, and were looking for $50K!!!
How much had they just spent on the licence required to do the job ?
How much did they earn while doing the licence ?
How did they finance the training, big bank loan in the background prehaps ?
You are seeking to employ a skilled professional, have you compared the conditions you're offering to other skilled professions ?
Award wage be a minimum, not a target.
How true.
Before the current shortage, were you paying the award or exploiting new CPLs keen to gain hours ?
Does your company expect a reasonable return on its capital but complains when pilots want a reasonable return for the time and money they have put in to their training. ?
Think about it.
