Just a little perspective on what any business, be it flying school, engineering accounting etc has to charge out for the employee's hours. Multiply your hourly rate before tax by around 2.5 to 2.7 and then add GST.
So if you get $38/hr before tax the school to cover all the overheads, and Tail Wheel will confirm this no doubt, will have to be charging you out at $95/hr plus GST.
Now this all depends on the industry, some may be 2.0 times, but any where there is heavy ongoing training, be it on the job learning discovering or trial and error, or formalised training programs, they all cost heaps in time and money. Add to that Super, admin costs, accounting and legals, OH&S, phone power and dunny paper........
Now which of you want to run a flying school? I have enough trouble running a good successful engineering business!
What do you think TW?
