gloriais18 comments about LH and SH pay
gloriais18 asserted "A check of LH vs SH CSM basic salary shows that a LH CSM earns 3.95% more than the SH equivalent. (I have 2 pay slips in front of me right now) ".
I take the opportunity to correct this totally wrong assertion.
A SH year 3 CSM earns $1118.98/ week or $58186.96 per year. A LH CSM YEAR 2 earns $74322.53 per year. So a LH CSM earns not 3.95% more than his short haul counterpart, but rather 27.73% more.
Again its a shame that totally inaccurate material is constantly posted in here by individuals who assert it to be gospel and explains why quite often ridiculous statements are made in here by people with no idea.
The 27% more earnt by a LH CSM also highlights my previous post ... it explains why LH crew are being made redundant and being made to use up LONG SERVICE LEAVE. Add in trhe fact that in LH we are paid on the basis of 182.3 hours per 8 weeks as compared to 246 hours for SH and you further realise why the Company is beginning to wipe out LH.
All should realise this and in fact the vast bulk of LH crew do....... all except roamingwolf and lowerlobe..... but of course they are a tiny minority.
