Rostov,
you no not of what you speak.
GD and AJ are not equals. GD is CEO of the whole group, AJ is CEO of a small part of the group. A better salary comparison would be AJ versus JB and there you will see there is little difference, perhaps we can use the % difference between AJ's and JB's salary to establish a set rate between QF and JQ pilot salaries......I Wish.
The QF 737 fleet manager looks after 50+ aeroplanes, enough to justify the difference in salary, but on top of that he is also the 767 fleet manager as well!!! I think the JQ guy is getting paid too much when you look at it this way, but again happy to use their realtive pay rates versus size of responsibilty to work out a realtive pilot rate between the two groups.
So..... no, management are not feeling the pain, just the drivers.
