15 years flying, am a long haul f/a, i pick up a reasonable amount of long range flying and the shorter stuff. my taxable income $71000. average taxable income in oz is $59000. i get $12000 extra for being away from home half of the year, how many christmas, birthdays and other events have i missed. i don't get public holidays (10 per year for a non shiftworker), i do get jet lag. i am not overpaid. ask the qcca crew who have moved back in with their parents after starting their new job if they feel they get paid adequately for what they do?
s/h 737, if you like dirt poor wages move to the USA. you will feel at home
