General Aviation FOIs start at around $120K (no endorsement loading). You are not on the bigger money until the endorsement loading is added.
GA? Though we were talking about HICAP/LOCAP? But 120k is a nice start these days for a governemt job with 15% super and Mon-Fri work hours. Then you have coffee time, international 'best practise' conferences and seminars, travel allowances and laptops, phones and whatever else is 'added'. And don't forget most of those guys are pensioners who have been out of the real loop for eons! Not to mention potential career progression to where the big dollars start at around 200-250k for managers. AND these guys usually wear those flash blue ties and I am guessing a "Safe Skies For All' tie pin?
Sounds good to me Spike, can you get me an application form buddy?????
Just for Kharon
