I have been thinking about it some more. I think the funny phraseing about turnover has to do with fuel levies...as they are surcharges rather than turnover...but that is just a guess.
To answer your question about salaries above $12K, they did this a few years back as well. The way I read it is everyone gets an equal amount until we get $6K and then it increases pro rata on your salary. So if enough profit was generated to give half a month's profit share, no one is 'ripped off'.
I think whingeing and being a pilot are synonmous. Most people are too busy doing their job to have time to whinge...we get all that free time in the cruise to whinge;-)
