Just out of interest, what would the Profit from Revenue figure be if GD cut QF Pilot's wages to those of VB pilots?

C'mon mate, work it out and lets us know? Give us the benefit of your vast knowledge and intelligence. Could the answer make a fool of you?


Interesting question but how do you compare like with like?
Qantas pilot's wage bill in the region of $350 million/year,
VB pilots cost some 20% less than Qantas, you do the math.
Unfortunately you would then be comparing the wage structure of 747, 767 330 and 737 pilots with that of VB's 737 drivers.
Would that be a fair and reasonable comparison?
Maybe Virgins 777 wages (when they work it out)Vs Qantas remuneration might be more applicable.
