which is over triple the average australian wage
..and probably slightly more than triple the average responsibility.

I didn't say anything about the current B737 Captains wage. You've coincidentally picked the very top earner for your comparison with the average Aussie wage. The average Aussie doesn't fork out 100k and decades of an apprenticeship in the scrub for a career/life that could end with one error or two bad sim rides. The average Aussie will just go down the road and get a new job if the current one closes. The average Aussie doesn't turn up to work 15-30 minutes early year on year out...need I go on. I'm wasting bandwidth and my own time.

I read them but haven't seen anything about this.
Suggest reading again.

I prefer to focus on these big things and not worry too much about the "nice to haves".
Is Seniority a "nice to have"?

No mention of B scale. At VB we haven't even started yet!
You are in for a bit of a shock. See you in a few months.

Being keen and positive is great, I'm the same and you'll find many a post to prove that. I suggest however looking at all sides of the argument. I to am in a great position but I don't ignore there are many in my company that are not.
