More Bubsy Babytalk
Why are people so guarded & blatantly misleading to tell people the facts about getting employ & then what the pay is
Suggesting pay for Perth is $80K when they would all be easily grossing $160K , before allowances
Allowances for LH average $400 AUD per day, these are non-taxable , you will spend 160 nights OS or duty travel etc
So the total of allowances will be $65/75K per annum , which is non-taxable & clearly you would probably get a dollar or two left over
The "juice" in the LH contract is the "soft pay" , dead heading , nights in Perth before after ULR etc
Few years you would likely be grossing $200K as SO on 787 allowances on top of that
Airbus SOs (A Scale ) miles in front of that , top of scale SOs would all be north of $300K these days
& that is why nobody wants to fly the 737
Why oh why is AIPA fighting QF on SOs hired direct to A380 , the clause says "& AIPA will not reasonably refuse request if due operational reasons"
Coming out of a pandemic , blocked training pipelines - they have all the reason they need
Why not focus on something they might actually win, such as QF introducing B Scale SOs years before A350 turns up
