"Was told $157. But that is with Super and DTA added as a whole package."
You can't "add" DTA to anything. It's a reimbursement for expenses.
Very naughty and misleading. So take out Super and DTA, $120k?

But they do it???????
Screwed,
I don't think they should add the super in it either as it is misleading.
Your salary is what you get paid. They are bound by law to pay 9% super and the DTA on top of that. When they offer it as a whole package it looks great. Take the two items above out and it looks very average at best.
Banger.
Does anyone know about the crews who come over from NZ and are NZ residents, will they have to pay two sets of taxes. I know that when working in Australia you will pay Aussie taxes. Thats 100% fact

Mmmmmmm ...
I believe that when working in Oz you HAVE to get a Tax File No.
Then when youv'e paid Oz tax ... and made the deductions ...you should NOT be liable for NZ tax. However I understand NZ revenue will have access to the Oz tax records.
However Kiwi's should go see a taxation specialist accountant.
Be careful .....

It's pretty straightforward if you read:
New Zealand tax residency for companies and individuals (For non-residents & visitors)

Well they will have to pay BOTH taxes
singlecut.
If they are in NZ for 183 days or more they will have to pay both taxes then?
If they work in Australia regardless who they work for they will have to pay Australian taxes. It doesn't matter that its an NZ company or they are contractors, they work in this country, they pay in this country.
Not going to be much in the ktty for the punters if both countries have their hand in the till.

They should be taxed in Australia only. Isn't there a double taxation agreement betwen NZ and Australia, same as between Australia and PNG?? The Kiwi's who work in PNG don't get taxed in NZ because they get taxed in PNG. Same rules would apply here I expect.
Are the NZ pilots on the same deal as the Australian pilots? I wonder how the economics work out because otherwise it must be more expensive touring guys from NZ than hiring Australian's here and touring from Perth.
Is it still 14/14 or are they moving to 28/28?

Tax is only paid in one place. I think you'll find thats what the dual tax agreement actually means.
However, where there is a tax paid shortfall, the difference might have to be made up. So if for instance one jurisdiction charges 25% overall, the NZ IRD will want any percetnage difference in their favour paid.

Also I think (?) ... that if you are not actually resident in Oz you lose out on the tax free threshold (first $6000 earned) and have to pay tax from $1 .....
...stand to be corrected on that though !!!!

No... quite right spinwing... you have to be a tax resident of Aus for a certain number of days to be eligible for the tax free threshold. So its tax on the full whack.
$6000 tax free for starters is not insignificant!

I assume these positions have all been filled? Anybody on the forum successful/unsuccessful? How does the EBA compare to Bristow? Lots of rumours but can any forum members post any FACTUAL information?

helopat .... (and others) .....
I would not be too concerned .... they are probably trying to maintain that high standard of professional excellence which dictates that ....
"no communication should take place with prospective employees until the absolute last moment lest they be able to plan their lives or know what is going on!".
Then of course they will contact you with a job offer on the condition you can start "tomorrow if not sooner!"

Helopat, not too sure about the "hot" pile. I think it might be the "cold" pile, or at best the "luke warm" file by now. Interviews were held in September and AFAIK all positions have subsequently been filled. EBA supposedly similar to Bristow but subject to a confidentiality agreement, so maybe that's why nobody is posting details. That's what I heard anyway. I was after a co-pilot position but never got a response to my application so all my info is second or third hand.

Austin P ....
If what you say is correct I think it is even more unprofessional of the orginisation to not inform those who had applied to them (whether they be qualified or not) in good faith as to the status of their applications.
This "failure to communicate" seems to be the norm in Australia ATM .... IMO this gives the impression that these companies do not really consider applicants worthy of any courtesy at all .... not surprising if that attitude then is reflected back at them in the future.

Hmmm.......I think there is a relationship to an NZ company here.
In my personal experience the culture of being impolite and not bothering to communicate was alive with these people as far back 1984. I have experienced it again this year from their CP who possibly wasn't old enough have been crossing the road on his own then.
It's just the way they are......big fish, but their pond is small. Perhaps you are lucky not to work for them. I know I haven't suffered from not doing so. A lot of my mates have and don't generally speak highly of it.

A buddy of mine applied there but said nothing in the world will make him take a job with them. They were so dam rude and those interviewing really knew nothing about what is happening with the industry down there.
A little too full of themselves man.

Well, it's official...positions all filled (confirmed through their HR person). I guess you're just meant to 'take a hint' when you don't hear anything for months. Sigh.

arrogance and ignorance
From much experience with them, I think you will find it best not to expect any sort of common courtesy from the management there. MBWA (management by walking around) and 'talking' with the troops does not exist within those 'hallowed halls'. Same can be said of basic comms with prospective employees. Unless of course you have every tick in every box and come in smiling pretending you've not heard any of the rumors of bad employee relations. Then you will be greeted with open arms and so long as you say 'yes sir no sir and give 'em their three bags full', you'll be the latest golden haired boy, untill you too grow tired of the sh*t. Then you will join the long and distinguished list of good pilots who have walked away onto better things! Beware, and be happy if you've not been accepted in.
