You can't spend the extra salary when you are dead. Compared to Canada, aerial forest fire suppression ops in Australia are a total goat rope.
From my POV the whole system is broken and the disproportionate number of accidents are one symptom.
FYI Dromaders, especially the piston ones, are not used by any jurisdiction in Canada. They were looked at on several occasions and were deemed unsuitable, so why are they working in Australia ?
