Well played you are the Royale of of SOs , Amen to you
If you were on a standard roster , you need to call the Qantas pay office , as they owe you $40K to $50K
Everyone flat stick at the moment & close to 50% of time on a trip, planes busy seats full , 787s especially so
Plenty of people getting $70K + cashy non-taxable "food" allowance on top of flight pay
Just have a look at the EBA 10 information pack - it is all there & that is 2020 data
Nine Day LHR & guys are getting close (or more ) than $4000 for food allowance - its regarded as pay , nobody I know spends it
Its money for jam, think what a Business traveller would get & basically double it , $500 or so per day in London
Mate your figures are so far out it’s not funny. I WISH I got that much
LH allowances DON’T average $400 per day at all. Have a look at the reasonable expenses table on the ATO website, that’ll tell you what you get per day. London, Singapore, they’re $400 a day. Japan, the US, I think it’s $355 a day. An India or a Bangkok, $230 or so. Domestically you’re only looking at about $195 a day. Heck if you go to Jo’Burg it’s even less than Australia!
And $300k for an SO?
Mate you’re dreaming.
