They pay award, not above as advertised on AFAP. The 'generous' Bonus scheme that they speak of was recently halved after the new owners took over.
A Grage 3 (snr) Instructor can expect award plus $7.50 bonus a flying hour (approx 40-42K). The downside that they dont advertise is that they expect a 45 hour working week, where the award only caters for a 38 hour week. I recently did the calculations and can tell you that for the overtime that the instructors are working every week, they are getting paid $5-$6 an hour (this is what CSWAFC consideres 'above award')
Quite pathetic as they had the best conditions in the country for instructors at one stage.
Other information that might be helpful:
Grade 2 award pay plus a bonus $12.50 a flying hour (previously $25)
Grade 1 award pay plus a bonus $17.50 a flying hour (previously $35)
Absolutely no respect for employees, which shows with the attitude instructors have towards the management (us V them).
Overall i would highly recommend anyone consider all options before accepting employment from this company - not a nice place to work.
