Ah Kap! You and your bendy figures!!
You've been told this numerous times before, but I'm sure you'll find a way to tell me I don't know how much I got paid!
For 55hrs/mth my base was 144K/yr. That's 12k/mth or $218/hr.
If I flew more than 55 hrs/ month (which I did EVERY month bar two in my entire time at AN) I was paid...$218/hr (that's STICK hr, pushback till shutdown, no extras no factoring), regardless of whether it was rostered, grey day, call out or whatever. AND that was what EVERY 737, A320 and 727 Captain got, as we were subject to a federal award.
SO, 144 is "almost twice" 120 , and 218 is 400. You've been talking to your accountant again!
So, on you suposed flight,
VB guy $1.55/ ticket, AN pilot $2.08. 1.74% vs 2.33.
Not the point. The whole thrust of this thread is that pay and conditions for pilots are being eroded, and you oppose this for EVERYONE, EXCEPT your freinds at
VB! You've just spent the above post arguing that it is right for
VB to pay so much less than the majors, whilst decrying the fall in pay of the professtion!
Make up your mind!
