I have managed to see the "offer" briefly, what I quoted in the original post came by word of mouth, this is what is on offer:
A330 Capt annual Base wage: AU$147,809 US$108,000 UKpds63,600
rising by Aug 2008 to: AU$160,701 US$117,300 UKpds69,100
First Officer's pay is 60% of the above.
As far as I can work out, there is no extra for years of service.
Allowances are paid per meal missed with a max per day (3 meals) of :
AU$85 US$62 UKpds36 You don't get the full amount unless you overnight then you get an extra:
AU$29 US$21 UKpds12
Overnight hotel accomadation is of the Mecure standard (3 star?). Interestingly there is a comment that "airconditioning" will be provided where possible, that should be good for tropical locations!
These figures are "minimum" based on 75hrs per month, 785 hrs per year when annual leave is taken into account. You can earn extra but with the type of flying and hours flown it would be hard to do so.
The company can also roster some of your required days off whilst on an over night slip!
I personally think what is on offer is pretty poor. Anyone working for this airline deserves more. Lousy pay and the ability of the company to roster days off away from home. What do you think?
