Air Ace, I'd be guessing he means as opposed to what almost every other 777 operator pays its captains.

There are quite a few people over here in the Sandpit who've expressed an interest in either going home, (or, in the case of the South Africans and Zims here, establishing a home for themselves in Godzone through the V Australia job), but I suspect that very few of them, after doing their sums, and particularly if they have school-aged children, will find they are willing to suffer such a large pay cut just to come to Australia.

(However, if the USD continues to go down the gurgler at its current rate, $A168,000 might start to look half way do-able!)
