$731 per week sounds more like Average Weekly Earnings rather than minimum wage. There's a big difference between the two.

Sorry to read about your plight, but it seems the flying training industry (with few exceptions) has remained unchanged industrially for at least the last 20 years

You control your destiny mate. If you choose to accept sub-standard conditions, then they'll never change.

It's a tough call. We all know that there are pinheads around that'll happily cut the grass from under you (happened to me). Stand your ground...One door closes, another opens. The job I got as a result not only paid award but was one of the most enjoyable and personally rewarding jobs I've had, both inside and outside of flying.

Family and friends first. Sometimes difficult to realise until it's too late....
