32.7.4 Line hourly rates of pay effective from the first pay period on or after 1 July 2023
A380/330/350 = $106.17 X 160 / 4 X 26 = $110k
787 = $133.02 X 145 / 4 X 26 = $125k
So French fleet is about $100k ($110k on MGH), 78 is about $133k ($125k on MGH)
Maths was never my strong suit, so please feel free to explain your working. FWIW I earned about $120-130 on the 78 as an SO including allowances. Like others have said, the choice is binary at the moment with all the movement. Either you want the LH lifestyle on $100-120k for doing little, or you want to fly the maggot around for circa $200k + and a little extra effort. Also, for those whinging about internals getting preference -I'm sure you would've whinged just as much while you sat on hold for 2 years watching externals get hired ahead of you because subsidiaries couldn't spare to let anyone go. It's a big game of swings and roundabouts, and if you play the victim throughout your career, people will give zero f....'s about your country song.
