Truckster,
165k a year is about standard as a base salary for this size it is the allowances that kick the wage up into the mid 200k. If my memory serves me correctly 767 base wage at QF for a skipper is not too far off this mark? anyone confirm...
If this is true this is a good position to be in for the low cost carrier so long as the overtime and allowances kick you over the 200k mark. albeit the 787 is not a 767 granted but its a better start for the vote than 145k
