SPANISHPILOT,


Before you get too excited, you need to be aware that at best you will start as an F/O and start on $62K AUD. You will be bonded $15K AUD. The contract with Qantas only has a little over three years to run and there are no other 717's in aus at the moment.

You could live on $62K, but not overly comfortably, and thats assuming your single.
If you intend bringing a family with you I hope you either have money in the bank or don't mind a second job and not as a pilot.
Where are you living,

I lived in perth and up until I changed jobs [24mths] ago I was living comfortable on $40k a year with a mortgage

$60k a year is fine, aslong as you dont live in Sydney
