Hey Tunedbog
I think thats USD, not sure, but either way Jeffstar drivers are not earning 260K, thats from my sources who actually work there ( in fact around 240K for a very busy Checky ), if they were, after paying OZ tax they would take home around, wait for it, 14K AUD/month
Also, they are not flying 10-12 days/month for that money more like 20 days/month, comparing apples to oranges mate.
Don't remember mentioning " peanuts ", maybe thats what your on
Most of the Air Chong guys as you so eloquently put it, were earning circa 30KAUD +/month up here before they left so I guess they can afford to live on a paultry 14K net/month in Oz.
