Pre 2021 (Pre Bain) Virgin 737 crew were on a higher base (~240k)but with a much higher OT trigger. For a 70 hour roster I think QF crew were ahead by about 20~30 %
Post 2021 737 CPT base is ~205K but trigger is now 57.5 hrs / 28 days. Plenty of work so some have flogged themselves and reached ~310K (some maybe even more). Numbers don't include allowances & super. 12 days off in 28 (13 if rostered less than 65 hrs)
HOWEVER roster bidding is crap, long duties and min rest at or close to FDP limits.
