Another abuse of facts and half truths to spread more bullshi.t There are obviously no requirements to tell the truth when writing fictional newspaper stories in Australia.
Both SIA and EK pay housing ,schooling, medical etc on top of a bonus/ proffit sharing system. Yes the tax is different, but why should that make a difference when comparing how much over or under paid pilots are. What we get is what we get.
As a Captain with EK (all up), I earn over $200,000 AUD after tax. So that would mean prior to tax in OZ approx 290k, I think. Im pretty sure thats no where near 20 -35% less than an average QF Capt.
Any other Asian airline pays around $11-12000 USD per month basic salary after tax for expat pilots.
But then again if it's in the news paper they must be right, and I'm just miss informed
