The ADF pay their B350 copilots more than that. After they’ve trained them. |
Sorry, but that is an absolute joke of a salary.
I hope they don’t get a single applicant. |

Not everyone is in a position to join the defence force. I’m certain this job would be perfectly suitable for many of the applicants. |

Dood, I'm sure you're very good at what you do. In fact, I know you are. Would you recommend peeps in your industry applying for jobs at your salary level at half the going rate?
When did that become the norm? You’d have to put it into perspective... they are probably not flying many hours per day and it would likely be fairly cruisey for the right candidate. |

$150-$160k, is that the going rate to pilot a Kingair with 1,500 hours on a CPL? When did that become the norm? You’d have to put it into perspective... they are probably not flying many hours per day and it would likely be fairly cruisey for the right candidate. Whats the average wage in Canberra, where every second person is a pen-pushing 9-5 Mon-Fri drone doing basically ****-all on the taxpayers teat? |

You’re kidding, right? As an absolute minimum, it’s a $120k base salary job.

Squawk, Firstly, drop the whole, ‘could get shot at’ holier than thou crap. No one forces anyone to do their jobs, it is a choice. Don’t like it? Stop doing it. Secondly, are you seriously suggesting that the AFP is willing and ready to put a 1500hr CPL in charge of a 350 in a multirole, day/night, complex, dynamic and ‘flexible’ operation? Sounds really prudent... The AFP may get applicants at the salary being offered. They may also go on to cost the AFP many many times their salary in mistakes and inefficiencies. When your salary is bottom of the barrel, so is the standard of applicant. How much does a hot section on a PT6 go for these days? j3 |

These fancy airline EBA’s and travel allowances simply don’t apply. I’m certain there are plenty of IFR twin pilots zipping around our skies for less than $100k! |

The problem is that they can’t pay any more due to the salary band that they are tied to.

As has been said already, a hot section on a PT6 is worth more than half that years wage, and it’ll happen pretty quickly flying it single pilot with no experience on type. If you have experience on type, you won’t be flying it for that little. |
Whatever happened to their C208? |
Seriously, why on earth do the AFP need an aircraft at all? Plenty of RPT services or charter outfits or even set up a contractor for say a 3 year period. I weep for the poor taxpayer!
|
From what I understand, after speaking to someone in the know, this role, with overtime and loading will average around $120k. You also can’t lose your job and if you did, redundancy is massive. It’s a great addition to your resume as well. As with most government jobs, it’s all in the overtime. |

They’ll get some low quality applications from people who just want a few hours of turbine in the book before moving on, and as others have said they’ll probably end up spending far more on maintenance and training the endless new pilots than they would by simply paying a proper wage to start with. |

Ops would not be limited to ACT and it’s not just flying around passengers. |
It's all in the OT eh? That's what makes your salary good eh? So once you're F&D are exhausted you wash the the plane? Do admin? Data entry? Awesome.
