Gold plating is used on pins because of gold's superior physical properties for external connectors. We pay you based on the gold content found on the pins. The thickness of the gold varies from connector to connector (15-45 microns is typical).
Fly-in fly-out workers earn big wages; even entry-level salaries are around $80,000 to $100,000.

As of 2017, the FICA-HI tax rate was 1.45 percent of your wages. So for each $10,000 you made, you'd pay $145 in Medicare taxes. The Medicare tax is levied on all employee wages, with no upper limit, so whether your salary is $10,000, $100,000 or $1 million, you'll pay 1.45 percent of your wages in FICA-HI taxes. That's different from the Social Security tax, which is imposed only up to a certain income level; as of 2017, for example, employees paid Social Security tax only on income up to $127,200.
