The Business - ABC News

This is an interview with Elysse Morgan from ABC program 'The Business'. Jump to 5'40" if you're short on time.

AJ: "...we've got a list as long as your arm."
Elysse: "So no pay rises for Qantas pilots then?"
AJ: "Qantas pilots are really well paid! You know an A380 Captain gets paid around $400,000 a year! A starting pilot at QantasLink gets paid $80,000 a year. I think they're good salaries and a lot of people out there, a lot of your viewers, would love to have one of those jobs."

PG
AJ must have forgotten the number of years pilots have spent in GA making less then someone flipping burgers along with the loans we took to become pilots.
