For an engineer who is even somewhere near the top of the pay system the base is around 50% of that.
Maybe you forget that airlines operate 7 days a week but of course anyone who works at the weekend should not be entitled to any extra for that?...Just asking.
Who said anything about base and who said anything about shift work not deserving some kind of compensation?
As a matter of interest, how much does a 5 cat get at QANTAS (on 737's). I can remember talking to a Virgin LAME a couple of years ago and he told me he was getting around $200k a year (all up)
