There is always a discrepancy in VB wages.

Cool Gang-never heard of any VB F/o making anywhere near a 100k.

Met a VB captain recently. He and some of his mates ( two eventually successful ) attempting to abandon ship. He said last year he made only 130K for almost 900hrs. I made this in 95 as an F/O.

Don't delude yourselves. VB pilots are grossly underpaid in a booming pilot market.

I am jaded, can't stand VB because I feel threatened by what pilots work for. The dominoes continue to fall and only reversed by where it started- can't you blokes get a payrise?

Good luck to the VB guys trying to get out. It is sad; only a few years ago well paid airline jobs based in BNE would see no attrition.
