Funny how in the US and UK the 'Low Cost' guys n girls are often being payed more than the flag carrier's guys n girls.
The vast majority of BA guys n girls would love the 85K (including sector pay) that the Ryanair/Easyjet guys n girls get.
The whole 'Low Cost' model is really spin for low service and for attacking the COS of all employees, not just pilots.
Outsource everything possible....and in the end guess what?
THE AIRFARES ARE ABOUT THE SAME.
QF just had one of it's most profitable years ever and I have travelled on both
VB and QF whose fares almost mirror each others most days. Just one feeds you...and I like their food!
Unfortunately all driven by greedy shareholders/management.
