Wow WA Skydiving Academy paying pilots I never thought I'd see the day.

There was a time when the dodgy pommies running that outfit were adamant that they were doing you a huge favour by letting you fly their clapped out 182s for free and therefore gaining valuable experience to further help your aviation career.

Okavango, Not sure how much they are doing these days but during the summer months you could do maybe 10 or more loads on a busy day. Other days average 4 or 6 only. So $20 per load wouldn't be a bad sort of remuneration with average sortie times around .5
