To add to the above responses; ... Meal allowances for our 35-hr slip in LA is currently $215, paid in cash at check-in to the hotel. And my last couple of LAX trips were worth about $240 each in overtime... (I am QCCA A380, contrary to what my username implies)
The occasional 5-day LAX which we have out of SYD, and which MEL has on a regular basis, is a 59-hr slip - roughly. Quite decent!
