if you want to compare apples with apples, is it not better to compare the remuneration received for the hours flown?
Not really unless you choose how many hours you fly.
I rarely fly more than 40hrs per month (despite an overtime threshold in the mid 60s), while others in the same rank on type will do nearly double if they want or have the opportunity.
Heck I could count on a hand the number of times I've flown more than 70 hrs a month in a career measured in decades now.
Unless your guaranteed more than 53 hours a month, It might be more appropriate to say ones base pay X but typically Y hours of overtime can be achieved... infact, reading the Air NZ thread that is how they present thiers, so too a certain operator QF recently failed to acquire.
