Just been purusing the 2008 S/E EBA for Kingair drivers.
$61,078 ist year after training + $5K per year if you are based at Mascot or Bankstown. A Toll priority van driver makes approx $70K P/A, without any formal training, and the only other requirement is to have a drivers licence! WTF!!!
I know there have been comparisons made before, and lots of comments re: the inequaties of the situation, but I thought some progress had been made on the wages & conditions of these highly dedicated and skilled professionals.
Seems we still have a long way to go.
