$50-80K as a flight instructor or CFI? I'm by no means an expert Aussie but no instructor I know of, even GR1 ME/IFR, earns that much.
Sadly your in the wrong circles Diesel. I just knocked back $50K for 4 days. I know a quite a few who get much more. IMHO pay is still pathetic given the cost of qualifications and skills required. Award for a full time grade three is north of $40K.
