Decline in Pilot Salaries Survey
.
mcgrath50 what I'm saying is that $135K for a Capt position based in BNE isn't bad compare to more money overseas but having to live in a ****ty country.
If you think that money is everything in life, then go overseas for the "big bucks" and sacrifice your quality of life. It's a way of thinking which I don't agree with but it's your choice....
What would be a good salary in OZ: 180K? 200K? 250K?
PS: to answer your last question, YES I would sign anytime for $135K NET/year based in BNE. Let me know who I should contact for that

74world, sorry but you do not help the situation
I read lots of your previous posts on other threads. Sadly your the type of pilot wishing to return that annoys the guys who have stayed, and I have to agree all the others. It appears you never made a flag carrier, so decide to return home on lower terms and therefore continue the downward spiral, next thing you will be offering to pay for your rating

So 40 south, you feel that when some one leaves to go overseas, that this is to be a 'one way trip'? These people must never return, except unless they 'join the queue at the bottom', eh. Anywhere in the queue, eh, as long as it's below YOU!
Those who have been overseas for work have every moral, ethical and lawful right to return to Australia and you are way out of line to infer otherwise. I have some advice: get a grip, have a look at the real world and do some growing up
---------------------------------------------------------
I am continuely amazed at the outright self-centered BS that comes out of pilots mouths. The recent VA LH EBA, for example, where the SFOs have had their career path subverted, apparently for the "good of the majority". Well, all very nice, unless you are the one who has just been screwed over.
"Oh yes, but in any EBA there must be winners as well as losers". Must? Must??!! I get it, some pilots are happy if some of their workmates get a raw deal as long as they come out with a 'win': a real f#$%^ you, Jack, I'm alright mentality. THIS is part of the issue. No one can 'win' if another workmate loses. To think otherwise...that is immoral and unethical! Ever heard this one?:
"United we stand, divided we beg"
When pilots say "must be some winners and losers" an instant division is created. So who, then, wins??? Hmmm?? Here, I am reminded of Joseph Heller in Catch 22:
Yossarian: " Doc, from now on, I'm only going to think about myself".
Doc Daneeka: "But Yossarian, suppose everybody thought that way".
Yossarian: "Well, then I'd be a damn fool to think any differently".

40Deg STH, you are correct when you say: "it APPEARS that you never made a flag carrier......."
For info I am working for a FLAG CARRIER
(not in OZ) but I've NEVER PAID for a type rating or flew for FREE.
Anthill, could not agree more with your post !

Also witness the slfishness from some quarters who insist that over '60s pilots retire so as to make room for the younger ones who "need to move up" 
Will these guys retire when they turn 60 for the same reasons?
I doubt it

Nunc est bibendum
If pilots are so thick on the ground, why were two J* captains allegedly traveling to Mexico (via LAX in P class with QF) to seek more of them? I suspect there are fewer of them around than management are keen to admit.
