This is whilst the average Australian salary is under $100k, yet somehow $250k+ is supposed to be below the poverty line? (Yes, apparently Jetstar pilots are below the poverty line I heard once).
why compare yourself to the rest of the population? Do they fly as well? Totally irrelevant what everyone else earns.
just in time for a profit upgrade too. Surely the YES crowd must feel like a bunch of mugs.
