Captains base 120000 FOs 72000 add to that a flying rate of 60 an hour most bases you average 250hrs a year. You get 6 weeks off a year but you are not forced to take it your roster works around 4 on 4 off only day light hours at the base most bases have 5 captains so you do between 10 and 12 days a month.

With all due respect to GG, wish he'd never left! Believe new hire Captain's would not get anywhere near the 120k mark, more like 85-95k. The average hrs per base is steadily dropping as well, some pilots are below a 100hrs per year.
Word of advice unless your a brown nose, yes man, who want's to fly less than a PPL DON'T DO IT !

$120k, 12 days a month, 250 hours per year? Pity they don't have a Sydney base...

I heard there are two FOs leaving YPPH base, don't believe there will be any Captain positions for a while though.
Perth fly the least of all the bases, I heard less than a 100hrs a year is pretty common. They also recently lost their Check Captain, which was a shame because he was our best C&T pilot by the proverbial mile.

G'day GG how's flogging around on the F100 treating you?
Was that before or after losing the Customs flying?
Does that include your C&T hours? I always thought YPPH spent most of their time flying rockets and model airplanes rather than the Dornier!
BPA most people I know in AR are looking to get out, mainly due to a moron CP.
We do between 200 to 300 in Perth
I have never been below 250
