response to the angry man
The Kavorka,
Why so angry mate? There is no need for name calling or insults here.
If MOST JQ FO's are making 100K and only work 14 days a month (as you say), then my mates there are getting shafted! My mates are working more like 3 weeks of the month for around 80K.
Even if JQ FO's are making 100K per year, that still leaves them 25K - 140K behind their brothers in mainline.
That still means they get paid less than Virgin FO's and work considerably harder for their money.
That still puts them 10K - 45K behind a QF second officer who gets more days at home. Infact the only QF SO's that they will earn more than are the ones that are on the training wage.
Ok Skywest FO's dont make 100K, but they have a much better life. More time off, and easier days at work.
From the tone of your post i take it you either fly for JQ, or you are a manager pretending to fly for JQ. Either way, as i said before, im not a JQ basher - i just want to see their rates of pay go up.
If you disagree with that ill assume you arent really a pilot.
If you want to insult me or call names i wont reply, but if you want to have a sensible debate i will be here.
