VB Pay Scale:

Skipper $169500
Overtime from 72 hours in a 28 day roster. (No real overtime being seen, time balancing in place, i.e roster displacement with no protection).
$1000 dollars callout for working on a day off, before tax, no day in lieu.
Approximately $10000 tax free allowances per year.

Word is for 777 operation, pay scales for Captain not that much more circa sub $180000 (package) + own type rating costs.

Conditions yet to be announced, External commands are for the first four aircraft only, remainder from current VB crew (plenty of L/H experienced wide body Captains at VB i.e ex-CX/EK/VA/etc).

If you are told, "This is a start up package and we will look after you at the next contract/eba", run for the hills, as this has been said before and reneged upon.

Buyer beware!
