Are jet* pay and conditions that bad?
Just finished the phone interview for jet* and was amazed to hear that the base salary is 84K. Is this the gross amount after the cost of the salary sacrificed "loan" comes out or is it before? Also at what point does the wage increase? What would a 5yr FO expect to be on?

I am doing the same sums at the moment...you can add the super on top of that (9%) and also overnights + overtime
does anyone have any idea of how much it goes up to after finishing paying off the endorsement? also, is the waiting list for the Perth base long? any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
locknut - a bit of advice about the SHL tests, it is really worth doing a couple of practice runs of the full length practice test on the SHL website, it helped me out heaps!

If you just got off the phone from talking to them why are you asking here? Why not ask them?
Super is not salary so why would you add it in? Just to make the pathetic salary look better?
$84K is a lot less that a VB 737 FO as a base.

Thanks for the info guys.
How do they get away with that? That's peanuts for a pilot with that level of experience! I believe a VB 737 driver starts on a little over 100K, after 5yrs it's about 115K. I wonder how many ppl pull out when they find this out cos I'm seriously considering it
I wonder who the silly fool was that invented the LCC model...

Trivia for the day.
$85000 will put you around the 60th percentile of house hold incomes.
$156000 would put you somewhere in the mid 80s.

Only way an FO makes 110 g a year at Tiger is by flying 1000 hrs. Wonder how that would feel after a couple of years..... Now, don't forget to take off the cost of all the **** you have to pay for.

Is it just me or are these some of the things you should be aware of before applying so you dont't get such a shock, god forbid they werent legally obliged to tell you the salary....what then?
I agree with you LM82. Have a look in any newspaper and most job ads, certainly those for jobs with salaries above $70K usually show some terms and conditions in the ad. They show some respect to the potential applicant. Airlines and other "avaition companies" see no problem with placing an ad but not disclosing terms and conditions. Shows a lack of respect and a lack of confidence in what they are offereing.

I'll have you know the information I posted about the Wombat is true!!! Don't believe me, try Google.
I did however post a first hand account of what 2 collegues earned at Jetstar last financial year, and as such I sincerely protest your decision to delete my post.
