You mentioned about washing planes, the outfit i worked for in the NT, PAID us 20 dollars per plane we washed....
we also got paid waiting miney during charterwork after a number off hours.
I am not sure if al the companys do that up there tough.
the boss had high expectations, but in my opinion we got wel rewarded for it.
Now you got your CPL, you think off your self as a profesional pilt right? at least thats what you tell the girls in the pub lol.
so expect to get paid for your profesional work.
good luck
ps, no harm done in sweaping the hangar or washing a plane even if you dont get paid for it tough, just shows that you got the right atitude and want to have a go in this industrie,
just dont have employers expecting you to work for f
k all.
