Quote: "Actually, EHD, all is not a bed of roses in QF. There is deep discontent over many issues not unsimilar to ours and in all departments - that from a true blue, longtime employee on the -400."
Really? QF have had a 30% pay cut, and 100 or so direct entry captains? QF fly punitive rosters of 85-95 stick hours per month, with no overtime? QF have weeks of reserve without being paid for it? QF have only a 15.5% contribution to superannuation? Do tell.
(For those who don't know: QF super is around the 22% of salary mark, and they are deeply unhappy with it. It's still about 50% better than CX B scales. I'm not saying they aren't justified in their complaint, but to say they have the same problems as CX is BOLLOCKS)
A 3 year QF S/O earns $110k per year. He/she flys less than 15 days per month, and about 50-55 stick hours per month.
