I had no real complaints about the pay there..
As a grade 3 you would make $7.50 (before tax) per flying hour.
Grade 2 $12.50
Grade 1 $25 (I think) On the new pay scales... On top of your salary...
You also get a payrise after flying 500 hours (teaching students) with the company, of $5 an hour flying...
As far as i know, CSWAFC is the only place in Australia who pay extra for flying.. SFC might as well not sure...
On top of your salary and flying allowance you also used to get paid extra for a tower shift, and briefing time.. $20 for towershift and now only $5 for briefing time.. Used to be like $50 per brief.. (dont know if they still do)
Working week typically 9 hours a day for 10 days in a fortnight..
so you max out on your duty times of 90 hours in a fortnight..
But if the weather is **** and no flying is going on, most instructors just go home as its only a 5 min walk away..
Back during my time, we used to get 3 day weekends which was good, so we could spend some time in Civilization (Perth)... 4 on 3 off then 6 on then 1 off....
