The salary levels of
VB pilots is not that far removed from those of QF shorthaul or the old Ansett.
A strange position.
Adjusted for inflation and including super and DTA, the short haul wage of incumbant F/O's at QF & Ansett seven years ago, exceeds that of a Virgin Blue captain today.
My last full year at Ansett I made 135K. Plus about 10K DTA. Plus the Super.
Pushing a 160K package.
I had other perks too. Including crew meals and refreshments!
