I have recently started to work for a company that employes helicopter pilots aswell as fixed wing. My information may be incorrect but I was told that the helicopter guys are paid heaps more than the fixed wing as per the award. Why are fixed wing pilots and instructors being screwed??
For the life of me I cannot understand why after the years of study and the tens of thousands of dollars spent on my aviation career the check out chick at Coles is earning a similar wage to me and I am being paid the award!
How can we get this message accross to the people that set the award for GA pilots that this is unfair?
