Mate, all that information is on these forums..don't be lazy, start digging..half the stuff you need is in NZ aviation news issue XXVII Dec/Jan 2005
Plus there arent many shortcuts
if it isnt a question on something in the AIP, CAA Rules (any part) or a question about sexual & religeous preferences, or voting in the elections..then they probably won't ask it

They have recently had a pay increase, have been told it's starting on 35k plus allowences. I would be surprised if that isn't accurate as the person I know who has started with them is fairly straight up. Time to command said to be 14 months give or take. Cheers

Just wondering how much with out all your NZ atp's? bigger cousin air nelson interviewing this month think those guys start on about 42k + allow (atpl's) My understanding is that at aero club as a fresh co joe you have the privalage of being the lowest paid driver in the air link group.
Somone did mention that there is a pay increase of 3% but this will only push the salary up into the next higher tax bracket. So correct me if I'm wrong but in real terms with the CPI gone up 2.7% this year that is a gross increase of a massive 0.3%....... first round of Big horn on me!........and with the extra tax from 21c to 33c which is incurred over 38k that is an over all decrease in your nett pay pack?? .....no wonder eagle dosen't have a prob with drunked pilot's any more; poor guys can't afford it!!!

Don Won,
What do you expect when you are the freshest of fresh co joe's driving the smallest a/c the link group????
Most, if not all the allowances are tax free. So what ever taxable income you earn over & above $38K (Callouts) is very minmal extra tax. And it can't be a decrease in your pay packet if you weren't going to earn anything over $38K in the first place. It's all money in the back except taxed at a higher rate!!
My P.A.Y.E is covered by allowances with money to spare
By Feb 2008 a new co with subjects will start on $40K + 6-10K allowances

It took me a while to get my head round it, but you make an intersting point.
If the yearly adjustment for inflation pushes you into the next tax bracket, there is a real reduction in net pay. Next real pay rise will be negotiated when the current CEA expires in early 2008. I think the Air Nelson's starting rate without subjects on the Saab is $37,000, about 6 G more on the Q300 (I think).

Er, not quite how it works. Took me a while to get my head around it but it's not hard, and makes a lot more sense than going backwards for a pay increase.
Income tax brackets refer to the percentage that each dollar is taxed at. The first 38,000 dollars that you earn are taxed at 19.5%. Those first 38,000 dollars will only ever be taxed at 19.5%.
If, however, you earn more than 38k, then you "go into the higher tax bracket". This does NOT change the rate at which the first $38k will be taxed, what it means is that whatever you earn over $38k will be taxed at a higher rate (33%). The first 38,000 dollars are still taxed at 19.5%. The next ones up to $60,000 are taxed at 33%.
If you happen to earn over $60,000, you are "in the top tax bracket", but again, this does not change the rates at which the first $38k (19.5%) or the next 22k (33%) are taxed, but everything over $60k will be taxed at 39%.
Find the tax rates and some examples here.
This does not of course take into account student loans coz I'm after simplicity.
The bottom line is that if you get a pay rise from $37,999 to $38,001, you will get (slightly) more money, not much less.
And if you vote for National AND they keep their promises (anyone remember "Read my lips" Lockwood Smith?) the brackets will move up, so you have to figure out whether you're better off voting red or blue.
And tuckwell, if you ask enough real people about Eagle there'll be someone you know who knows someone in Eagle and can answer any questions, maybe even slip you the current interview questions. Just study your IFR Law, and have some prepared stories of examples where you had to _______________ (standard interview stuff). Listen to the instructions in the simulator AND REMEMBER THEM. And expect the group session to be quite tiring, it's a long time in the same seat in the same room. And good luck. And don't start too many sentences in a row with "and".

I think you've missed the point. I'm well aware how a tiered taxation system works. The point is, if you get an adjustment for inflation and that (numerically) extra money is all taxed at the highter rate, and the government doesn't raise the tier to allow for inflation (which they don't) you have a DECREASE in net pay IN REAL TERMS.
Eg. in 2004/5 you earn 38,000 - you pay 7,866 in tax leaving net 30,134
in 2005/6 your income is adjusted for a CPI increase of 3% so you earn 39,140 - you pay 8256 in tax leaving 30,884 - ***or 29,958 as a REAL comparison to the previouse year - YOU HAVE HAD A PAY CUT!!!
Do you see why it took me a while to get my head round it

oooooooooooooooohhhhhhh so THAT's what you mean. Yes i did miss the point, good thing I left economics behind a long time ago. 
Hurrah for yearly pay increases, at least on paper, although now I'm not sure I'm making money at all...

..you should re read your BGT notes..learn all the speeds in Table 5 NZAIP ENR 1.5
for that matter re read all of ENR 1.5 and probably 1.6 too..
re learn all the old rules of thumb you were ever taught like Degrees to miles on the arc and VSI/ground speed to Gradient etc..
if you don't have any try
this
Isn't it too late anyway..the interviews are on as we speak..or have you had a call for the next round..in which case I'm pissed cause they didn't call me and I'll have to get a real job
