In my flying career I have been lucky enough to work for companies that do pay the award which in itself is terrible. My question is why are we as professionals remunerated so poorly when the award salary is compared to say a primary school teacher or check out chick at coles.
Our Salaries should at least be on par with the School Teacher and not with the dumb 18 yr old high school drop out at coles!!
I don't think the arguement is to pay the award or not but why is the award set so low?
This baffles me... It is as if our Skills, Qualifications and Experience is being taken for granted!
I know we have all accepted jobs knowing full well what the money was like but how do we do something about changing it?
