There is no skills shortage in Australia, it's more of a case of there is a shortage of skilled people willing to work for $15 per hour.
In another industry I am involved in that requires a certain level of skill and experience, the people with the skills and exp are leaving because the pay has not changed for over 7 years! the kids coming through are like 15 bucks? you gotta be kidding. I got that at Mac's as assistant manager at 17...
Consequently the industry is slowly dying...
So if you cannot claim these training expenses as a tax deduction, what is your first year salary in Jetstar going to be $20 000?
The tax bill alone would be around $20000 plus the cost the of Endorsement!
And people wonder why there is a pilot shortage!

I just want everyone to know that I love my job, that I have at the moment (twin charter). It pays the award, which is enough for me - and I am able to save and have a second job(by choice).
While I'm happy, there's not way in heck I'm coughing up 30k-40k to have the privelige of flying around someone else's customers.

How about we have a chat to you after you have spent 5 or 6 years in "twin charter" watching others get jet jobs because they are willing to fork out the cash for an endorsement?
Hold on a sec..... maybe I'm wrong.... I hear there is a newstart airline coming to Australia, it's called...... Moral Airlines...... The airline is run by honest people and they will value their staff! Also, if you refused to buy an endorsement they will come knocking at your door, begging you to come work for them!

2pissed, give it 6 months to a year and the pay for your endorsement will be well and truly gone.
Some companies do bond or require f.a.'s to cough up for their training. They won't be around in a few years so don't worry about it.

Pay for Your Rating will be history if enough of you lad/ladies answer 'NO' in the online application form where it says are you prepared to pay for your 737 or A320 endorsement training.
Then the airlines have no choice.
