Fishing for info.
Can anyone offer a rough guide as to what rates of pay a Handling Agents Station Manager can command also if anyone will divulge what rates are on offer to Ops Managers with the various airlines and operators.
Situation: Leaving RAF after 12ys in Ops and obviously have know idea what the rest of the world is paying.
Thanks All.

Stay put for a bit mate...........
Civvie aviation is dead mans shoes.
No disrespect, not knowing your background in depth, massive commercial pressure on ground and airline managers at the moment....................
NOT A GOOD TIME at all.
You may wish to set your sights a bit lower?

And a really long ladder to climb!
I think you will find that a commission has very little pull in the airline world.
Lods of very experienced bods on the market now and very few positions to be filled - and yes it is who you know
For a stn manager's job you will need lots of checkable history (commercial) behind you.
I hope you have the option to sign on as I left in 1990 with the economy in a similar state , I should have stayed in.
Not that staying in would have too much better - just the lesser of two evils.
8 years to pension - not too long to wait for a lot of money.
You might think of staying in and doing the FAA dispatcher course and get some transport management courses under your belt.

Hi
When are you leaving the RAF? I left recently and had no issues in gaining employment in the industry. I'm actively recruiting at the moment and may have something you could be interested in.
I left after a few more years than you have under your belt after spending the last third of those via Cranwell but stayed in the Ops environment. There is a lot of interest for service leavers at the moment and I'd always suggest you aim high.
Good luck, drop me a line and we can discuss further outside of this forum.
