SWH, thanks for the support with dealing with this lunatic.

QF B744 FO's make 225K - 240K. Hence my quote of 125K - 240K.
Maybe you are right that some DJ guys are unhappy, but i can promise you that after the gloss of flying a jet has worn off (12 - 24 months i'd say) you and your mates will be much more unhappy than any other pilot group in the country. "Why dont we get paid as much as them?", "why do we work more than them?", "Why do i have to have my days off overseas and never get to see my family?" (if you are on the A330)
If you think the JQ lifestyle is great you are obviously the IQ equivalent of a sultana. You might aswell go back to GA if that is what you think. Airline jobs are supposed to be well paid and provide an easy lifestyle! JQ does neither.
QF second officers once checked to line will make around 85K. After 18 months online they will make 110K - 150K.
I can see why you didnt get into CX, QF, DJ, EK or anywhere else. Its because you are angry and insane.
