Pity as I've heard really good reports about them as an outfit although not real sure how good the F/O pay is compared to other airlines in Oz.
Forget the pay. It could be less than a taxi driver (except it isn't and in fact is good money) but the big attraction is within a year or so they make you a captain (cruise) and you log in command on a big jet and apparently all legal. The real captain takes it easy down the back and the cruise captain logs command. - not ICUS but actual command. . The captain also logs command at same time so you have two pilots logging command at the same time but it's legal..
The airline has an excellent safety reputation and flies to exotic Pacific destinations.
