Oh boy, is this going to create some discussion and maybe reignite the pay thread.

How many of us can relate and sympathise though? I might add that, our industry does not sound as bad as the US and I think overall, on comparison we're doing ok. I don't think too many Aussie Dash 8 drivers flying on $17-20,000pa.

..............as if it hasn't been done to death.......

Negotiate an outcome with your employer that is acceptable to you both - if successful in that venture - GREAT - don't p*ss & moan on this site.
If not - move on to another, and another, and another - and if still unsuccessful - review and amend negotiation skills or go back to what you were doing.

STOP WINGEING ABOUT PAY FOR PILOTS ON THIS SITE....PLEEEEAASE >.........
