Anyone who decides to take a job like this that pays such atrocious wages is prostituting themselves and their American pilot brothers and really shouldn't be flying anyways.
The reason they are recruiting Australians is because they aren't getting enough applicants from the USA because the wages/conditions are so poor.
Sometimes it is better to say no. Think how much $ and effort your licence took to obtain. You are worth more than $29K per year Don't be so desperate
Very true.
However at entry level jobs you are never going to get much more than that anyway. If you are in the sub 1500TT market you are scratching around on poor salaries anyway.
If you then had the option to fly in a an airline with the opportunity to fly jets for that sort of money which would you pick? The busted arse single flying around Arnhem land or a regional in the USA?
