Let's see. As an example Jetstar NZ pay 65k NZD before tax and they work very hard for that. Admittedly, Pacific Blue pays more (86k before tax which is 30% and some) but don't forget the 40k you need to come up to cover the rating (you aren't getting paid while completing the rating by the way).
I should probably mention that im not considering the scheme. Just adding a bit of perspective.
