Yeah and the basic rate for a mcdonalds fry fryer, burger flipper or bin cleaner for that matter is around $17. 40 hr week and that around $35000 grand a year. Plus cleaning allowance.
No $60000-$100000 to get your licence.
No $30000 to get your endorsement.
No annual medical.....$
No $500-$1000 for the priviledge for a interview.
About $10000 in tax over 10 years...

10 years at maccas still on the fry station = $350,000 + pay rises ( they get 4% without an argument) - $10000 (tax) = $508000.

10 years at J* = 5 years F/O @ $80000 + 5 years capt @ $130000 (NO YEARLY INCREMENTS, not entitled to those as an airline employee...= $1050000. Less about $300000 in tax. Less Costs of job @ approx $120000.

Work at J* for 10 and net around.....$630000.

There you have it folks.

Oh, and maccas pay straight 9% on your super into a fund of your choice, no tricks, no promises just the cash.

Someone else can do the numbers there....enjoy your job at J* girls and boys....
