Dash 8 Pay
 

What is a good pay in Oz for a Dash 8 driver. what is the conversion rate and Cost of living/marginal tax rate thanx

$65K for F/O

$110K for Capt

Krusty - who pays that? Coastwatch? Is that including allowances?

Cheers.

The question was:-
The answer was:-
That would be a GOOD pay for a Dash 8 driver.
$2,000,000 for a Captain and $1,000,000 for a F/O would be great pay for a Dash 8 driver.

KRUSTY never actually said that anybody in OZ is paying that, but merely answered the question.

Yeah ok, but I think the original poster's intended question would read something like "What are the best paid Dash8 pilots being paid in Australia?"

I thought the Coastwatch guys might be getting something close to that with allowances etc.

Just my poor attempt at humour.:)

NG,

not that poor an attempt at all, and you hit the nail on the head of course.

I think you'll find that the Eastern pilots pay around $50K for an F/O, and High 80's or ninety'ish for a Capt. Plus allowances. Pehaps, $8K P/A?

Sunstate pay their Dash drivers I think 7% extra to fly the -400.

Don't know if these are the highest paying Dash jobs in the country, but as I alluded to earlier, they probably need to pay a lot more.

NOTE: To aid the understanding of the above table, two examples are provided:
(a) Current year 8 pilot $74,394 will translate into the new structure at $75,880. This rate will be increased by the 3% wage movements to $78,156 effective 1st July 2002 and the following year the pilot will progress to level 10 increment which is adjusted by the second 3% effective 1st July 2003 rate of $81,955.
(b) Current year 4 pilot $70,820 will translate to the new structure at $71,969. This rate will be increased by 3% effective 1st July 2002 to $74,128. The pilot will progress to level 6 after 12 months or at anniversary date whichever is sooner and receive the second 3% wage adjustment effective 1st July 2003. The pilot will continue to progress annually through to year 10.
Hope this helps!

Thanks all anybody know what the marginal tax rate at75k would be. Also what is aerorescue paying for the 328's Thx Pig

Tax
 

Gidday,

$75k translates to $1442 per week.

Tax payable on that is $368 per week leaving you $1074 in the hand.

THat sort of money in Australia is certainly comfortable, but if you're planning on buying a house you won't end up taking much home with you at the end of your stay. :(

Aerorescue 328 pay is a bit under $70K plus flying allowances paid on revenue flights. But they don't do much flying.

Marginal tax rate is 30% up to about 85K.

Thanks just doing my taxes, and federal tax rate is 27%+9%provincial. throw in gst and pst and marginal tax rate here around 45%

Dash Trash
 

Wow, and my measly 35/yr as a 1st year Captain in the US seems...... un-noteworthy. Heard a few contracts that have captains direct entry at 65 to 80 a year, USD. That's overseas, one Japanese and one Africa.

Why do all the cool jobs make nothing? The Twotter on floats job only pays 25/yr USD, but that's right seat. The left seat starts at 54/yr, but that's still hard to feed the jr and misses on.

These A%#holes really crack me up!

Are things in Canada that bad?

Offer decent T&C's and you will retain and recruit Aussie crews.

Hopefully the Canadians will value their profession a lot more than what is on offer, and avoid this bulls%#T accordingly.

Is it open slather yet to giving away working visas to pilots yet?

Seems National Jet has it for the Dash-8's. Saying they will help with Visas.:ok:

Why do crews have to be either Canadian, South African, Kiwis or British Citizens to be considered for employment with Surveillance Australia. Guys like me that have a residence visa for OZ and the right licence feelthat is very depressing. For a government contract that is strange.
