Dash 8 Real Pays
 

Hi Guys,
I know there have been posts about this in past but with no real answers.
Im trying to find out how much a dash 8 FO and Captain take home, after allowances etc.
Im in a situation where I dont want to go to jets as I enjoy flying local. Im currently with the RFDS but am looking to get into either coastwatch or Qlink.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

FO Qlink

55K before tax PA with average allowances. Take home 1600-1800ish per fortnight.

Hmmmmm, sure makes driving a roadtrain look good. :eek:
