ARO & WSO salaries around Aust

[ZAZ]

So you want to be an ARO?

Started in 2004 at $19 per hour and 4am starts
By 2012 500am starts I had gone to $29 per hour

Then some smart ass manager decided to pull a few lights out to check if I was doing my job and claimed that I missed seeing them.

I said to the guy what is next, go down town and pull a few traffic lights out to see if the road patrol are paying attention?
Then last Xmas he pulled the portable genset out and ran it in the rain and blew its fuses and the airline had to divert in the storm..

Then some guy in a homebuilt lost it on take off and wiped out our Visual Approach lights, and I spent two days in the rain mounting and realigning the system using second hand bits scrounged from another AD..

We are the unwashed, lazy, mow the grass and change the light bulbs and toilet rolls.

Phone number in ersa 24/7 with calls at 5am asking what time does the plane leave?

Spoke to my FA and he said with accrued leave and super leave now dont wait until July,
So I took my small fortune and ran..

I no longer work or care to work as an ARO.
