Back of the envelope figures for minimum guaranteed pay excluding all allowances, ADTA/ODTA, super, bonuses, day off payments, unplanned overtime and divisor + 5 payments:
Jetstar minimum pay: $228,927. Throw in a very generous 1500 hours of high-line at $12.37/duty hour =
$248,482 . (I think 1150 duty high line hours is probably more realistic which would make this 243,152).
Qantas year 1 rates minimum pay: 6.5 x 145 + 33 hours passive for training = 975.5 x 327.82 hourly rate + fixed STACR of about $4600 / year = $
324,390 = the JQ minimum with 1500 hrs high line plus 30%. At planning divisor of 155 this rises to $
345,696 excluding all allowances, ADTA/ODTA and super. At 175 max divisor plus training and STACR =
$388,313 Note that these 145, 155and 175 divisors are
credit not stick hours.
Qantas year 4 rates minimum pay: 6.5 x 145 + 33 hours passive for training = 975.5 x 353.03 hourly rate + fixed STACR of about $4600 / year =
$348,980 = the JQ minimum with 1500 hrs high line plus 40.5%. At planning divisor of 155 this rises to $
367,327 excluding all allowances, ADTA/ODTA and super. At 175 max divisor plus training and STACR =
$417,821. Note that these 145,155 and 175 divisors are
credit not stick hours.
You would need to be working close to CAO/EBA limits to be doing 175 hour credit hours divisors for the year, just as as JQ pilots would be need to be doing well over 75 hours per roster period to start making large gains on their pay.
Not an expert on the JQ EBA but the mainline allowances are linked to the top ATO allowance table (currently AUD 295 per day in USA/LHR/HKG) - not sure if the JQ is as well or to the lower table?
AFAIK the JQ ADTA/ODTA numbers are also lower than mainline.
