Bankrunner, sorry mate but regardless of the link you have posted you are 100% incorrect. CASA inspectors and executives keep all points accrued, well they did up until at least up until 12 months ago anyway. I know this for absolute fact.
YPJT, the figures thrown around this thread for ARO's are between $50k to $100k approximately. CASA aerodrome inspectors earn between $95 to $115k approximately. Team leaders etc can earn up to $140k. This excludes super of around 15.75%, 5 weeks annual leave, the additional week shutdown over Xmas and travel expenses and cash allowance of around $130 per day.
If you boys really do know some aerodrome inspectors I think you will be surprised at their answer to these figures I provided. That answer is correct.
So I am not sure how one would be taking a pay cut by joining the Regulator?
