The information which I received recently from Airborne was that the daily rate for an FO starts at 240usd/day plus 50usd per diem. They also said that the final daily rate offered would be decided by AAI, after successful interview, and upon offer of a contract.
This is significantly lower than the base rate given on ppjn of 340usd/day.
I also asked about the 3/2 contract but was informed that it was a worldwide contract that is on offer, whereby you advise them of your availability and if they have work they will call you. No guaranteed number of days is on offer.
Having a mortgage to service and a family to support, for me at least, there is too much uncertainty with regards to projected minimum earnings over the year.
It is a job that would suit my lifestyle very well, but the uncertainty over earnings is currently a sticking point for me.
Hope that helps.
