Well for a start it won't be 100K, more like 170K for a skipper with all the bits and pieces added in. My mates at Jetstar tell me that overnights are pretty rare for skippers, which makes sense because most low-cost operators have few night stops (way too expensive for them).
My mention of the 100K was in reply to this statement from PhoenixNZ, which shows he'll be happy on 100K.
I personally dont mind that much whether in the future I'm earning 100k or 150k.
True there may not be overnights now, but as you well know airlines have a habit of changing the way they run their schedules, so there's no guarantees that there will be no overnights, in fact I'd say it could be highly likely in the future, look at the way Pacific Blue and Air NZ operate their Tasman and Pacific operations.
