Just to add to the wages debate...
Has the QF calculater taken into account that by the 3rd year the
VB FO has been a captain for 18 months? That ought to throw a spanner in the works...
I, also, would like to know specifically what the gripes at
VB are. It can't be the money. Most of the pilots with commands there were FOs from that 'other' airline or have come from GA. After 8 years at AN I wasn't earning what the
VB captains are, let alone after 1-2 years...
The figures (and we all play with them!) quoted for a captain at the QF LCC are laughable.
The AO captains are only on $170k and that includes performance bonuses. So a 737 driver will be offered 170-180K??
BTW my money is also on A320/321s...
