A 7th year skipper at this airline will be on 21 percent MORE than a first year skipper (3 PERC per year increment) which means his basic salary to fly wide body aircaraft for a major around the world with 8 days off a month IS 146800AUD FACT i DO NOT know where 168K came from that is CRAP!!
I said $160,800
A very good friend of mine is on 7 or 8 year Captain pay, we compared money after tax. He was only just a bit behind my CX B scale after Tax pay. He may have included overtime? I don't know.
However he gets most other things for free.
I was surprised to hear how much he got paid, but that is what he told me. Perhaps he was fibbing?
In my humble opinion they don't pay you guys enough to live in the sand pit.
