In a month we will all know how substantial the next FY training will be.
I would imagine a person relocating, with a young family, on a single income 787 SO wage to be a challenge. I mean that.
The demographic at Qantas means that even if the music stops (and it always does) movement should still occur which should be some relief. If you were an involuntary SO for more than a couple of years I’d be very surprised.
As for the 787 SO wage including allowances...I’m not sure exactly but I suspect around 125k first year? Someone will pipe up if I’m off the mark.
Good luck.
