Good Question Dixons!!
However this subject matter seems to be either to sensitive to the main of Ag pilots down under or perhaps they simply don't care. A couple of us tried to shake the cage a bit on this one a couple of months ago with nill result!
Maybe they were all a bit to tired at the time. I'll have a look back and perhaps I can bring that Ag pilot wages thread back up the top again.
A year or more ago there were some good people out there contributing some experienced and valued thoughts to topics raised here. None of them touched this one!!

OK Turbo. Assuming that the contract thing is no longer the norm as has been discussed in a previous thread. How many PAYE drivers do you know than can reliably pull in 180K?
I emphasis that I am NOT talking about contract.

It is not my understanding that the contact thing is no longer the norm, at this stage anyway.
Who said reliably pull in 180K. Only you I think.
The add said $130,000 to $180,000.
Read carefully.

Thanks Turbo,
Well, whilst I'll admit that the views put forward on here a couple of months ago on the wage thread would only be a very small cross section. That was certainly the opinion there by a long shot.
Couple that with my own cross section of people in the industry and I think that is where we may now well be!!
A few large companys are still on the contract thing but they have full time guys there on a contract basis and that mat not hold up.
Genuin contractors are out there roaming about and they can have some excellent returns that true. But it's a life not many of us wish for hey!
130/180K's?? Ok i'll split the diff with you Turbo, lets say 155K. Reliably.
That is certianly not the feedback that I'm getting over the past few years my friend. Not by full time, paye drivers.
If your in an 8 ok, but if your not ??? thats an average turnover of 1.2 to 1.3 per year. A little less if its night but thats on the decline as well.
Thanks for you input though Turbo. I wish a few more of those that have been around for awhile would come in.
