RFDS conditions
 

Would anyone have a rough idea of the package for the RFDS jobs advertised last Friday on the AFAP jobs ?

On the AFAP website you can access every sections EBA-you just need to be a member! :ok:

..........you join the 'Rufdus' for reasons not solely about $$$$. It's a meaningful job,rare these days &the SE section is run by a great bunch of old codgers too:ok:

From 1st January 2013:

1st year pilot (at Mascot)= $95330 + Allowances (phone/internet, meal), 70% of that amount during line training which could take up to 3 months (2 months if Kingair endorsed).

7th year pilot with check and training (highest incerement) = $125,553.

As a PBI, you are also able to salary sacrifice up to $16,036 per annum, which increases buying power.

"HH" I see you guys are still on the same $$$, not too shabby tho:ok:

3months line training hey?....hmmmmm.....must be the new space shuttle version of the old Beech you guys have:-)

Say G'Day to old Bob for us will ya HH, does he do Xmas cakes for you guys up there? He is/was famous for his xmas cakes........just don't take a bite out of them within 48 hrs of a duty tho:E

Merry Xmas to all those great guys/gals at the 'RUFDUS' who make a difference:ok::ok:

Nah flying the old Beech is the easy bit, it's all the other stuff that takes a while to learn. :ok:

PS: I have heard mention of the Christmas cakes, I'm yet to see one though!;)

So what happens after year 7 HH, the RFDS don't want to pay for experience or hope you keave?

Previously it took 15 years to reach the highest increment, with increases every second, or sometimes third year. At the last EBA the 15 years was condensed to 7 as a way if getting people to the top increment sooner! So in effect they are paying for experience compared to the previous EBA. :ok:
