and it used to be that every SO was on at least 200k apparently.
Some senior 380 SOs could make close to $300k with a year of high overtime trips, but all new SOs are employed under the new T&Cs so would be in the $100ks for salary range.
I'm sure both are numerically possible, but hopefully someone breaks down what you can expect as a base and THEN add expected overtime/allowances/super etc rather than throwing around arbitary outlier numbers as seems to be the norm when discussing Qantas pay.
737 FO min guarantee - $150k, but rostered hours always come out higher, so one who doesn’t pick up any extra flying would get at least $200k plus allowances and the bonus, up to $300k for those who work to the max. I’d say the majority are around $230-240k pa. For new SOs now on all fleets low to mid $100ks plus allowances.
In all cases from now any new employee on taking a promotion from SO to FO on any fleet will result in a pay rise.
