Currently an NAA Capt is on $186k for 65 hours per BP. I believe the previous proposals had the new salary around $220-230k. For every hour above 65 they get $120 per hour plus a $500 for a day off....

You can’t really compare salaries with passenger numbers. A JQ A321LR carries just 2 less passengers than a QF 787 but the pilot salaries are widely dissimilar.

Current rate for a JQ narrowbody Capt is $232k. If it ends up in a FWC determination even beyond the BOOT test there’s no way the FWC will determine a rate outside of the $220-230k ballpark.
