Hey, just wanted to point out, when doing your calculations remember that DTA is taxed on a day trip, untaxed on multi day trips or international flights. Hope this helps!
And yes, airlines such as QF and even certain regional airlines are around the $4-5 mark for DTA... DTA is also good if you get delayed or unexpectedly overnighted, you earn for as long as you're away from base, (if that's how DJ are going to do it) so say if you got a one off overnight payment (was it 65?) or 5 per hour... you;d need 13 hours to get $65 if your DTA was $5/hr...
good luck guys, be prpared to compromise but not too much!
And- 15 hours rest at home port???? Awesome! Q don't even get that much... it's 12...
