Are you sure lurker? Your payslip will have the allowances included. If your $137 per hour is correct, then $135K divided by $137 (hourly rate) divided by 12 (months in year) gives 82 hours a month, which does not sound right. Assuming an average of 75 hours a month and $10K allowances, the pay comes in at around $133K, which is close to the $130 I made last financial year (10 years in company). BTW a mate who joined a few months before me got $160K as a second officer on the 744.
