Base daily rate for an IFR Offshore casual/contract pilot in Oz is $A1,000 plus accomm & allowances. At least one international is reputed to pay $A1200/day ++.
Let me think: the same money to fly out of Pt Hedland as to fly out of Helmund? What was that about a JAA licence
Back to the OP, someone is extracting the urine: K1W1's are notorious for low pilot salaries, both rotary and fixed wing. Qantas have found it a fine rort to register and crew their domestics from the Land of the Long White Cloud at massive savings over Australian rates
