Jetstar pilots are paid based on 75 hours per month and they don't get any extra pay unless they exceed that. Bear in mind this is flying hours and not the Qantas long haul style of credit hours based on duty time and min daily credit.

My information is that it shakes out to $147,000 for a Jetstar A330 Captain initially and keep in mind what I described above, minimal opportunity of over time or any other extra pay.

With the density and type of flying that long haul international is, the average pilot will be away from home at least half the month. To add insult to injury they will be operating to the CAO 48 exemption which entails 10 stick hours in one sector two crew extendable by 4 hours.
