Yet it is 70% more money than the only other 787 contract in the country.
I don’t have many problems with the QF LH contract, its a fairly healthy one, but this is patently wrong.
Read the JQ contract a bit further, just a few paragraphs down is all, and you’ll see Extra flying allowances, Highline allowances, day off payments etc. You’re making your statement quoting the JQ base rate against a fully fattened up QF rate, at a 175hr divisor no less, which is equivalent to the Jetstar Pilots doing 90 plus hours per month.
There is a difference but it’s nowhere near as big as you’re saying.
