HI Airaholic,
They offered me an FO job on the twotter 300 in Jan 2007.
I had a bare CPL, MCIR and GR.3 Instructor rating.
I was over the moon as it was going to be my first job in aviation.
They provided accommodation and lunch each day.
But......the pay was 12k AUD per year. And that was taxed. I worked it out to be $139 AUD per week after tax. Needless to say, I turned down the job.
Hope this helps.
