Easterns and Sunnies have a lot to do this EBA, they are way behind CPI on remuneration, probably somewhere in the region of -20%! (and that's before this years CPI is added)
I'm by no means defending the Eastern EBA, but please stop spreading misinformation. Anyone can pull up the respective EA's on the FWC website and see that the Rex FO base salary is $4k less than the lower 200/300 pay, and $10k less for those that start with 2000 hours (or after Year 4 commences, and add even more for the difference to the Q400 pay). Let's not spread malarkey to people who might be weighing up the two options.
.....and before you go on about additional allowances like you love to do, shock horror, Q-Link pilots also make allowances.
