Balanced?
I have a chip on both shoulders so I am balanced.
Forgot to mention for those types that don't remember numbers like me.
Currently a year 1 FO(not JFO) in CX gets $67K a month and a year 1 CN gets $103K a month. Very close to EK numbers - except you get the FO 1 in CX about 4 years after the EK guy and you get the CN 1 salary about 7-9years after the EK guy!
Current CX payrates for FO1 and CN1 put us at 1991/92 A scale levels - can't wait to see what year we move up to after all the payrises.
Hmmmmm - 1992 for FO 1 and 1993 for CN 1 - still, I am only guessing;-)
By the way, the exchange rate in 1992 was 5.6 for AUD and 13.66 for GBP.
