FGD, you are proposing that QF pilots take a PAY cut in order to save Qantas.

You have quoted figures there about COSTS; most of which are fixed and have nothing to do with what a pilot gets PAID.

Disregarding pay for a second, most COSTS would be the same no matter what the pilots were being PAID. Simulators, Hotels, crewing departments, allowances etc are costs to the Company, a cost of doing business and have no bearing on what a pilot gets in their pocket no matter what airline they fly for.

Now I know what a 4 man A380 crew gets paid to do a London return. So it is very easy to work out what the cost per passenger is on a London return ticket for the entire crew. Guess what Qantas could offer as a reduced fare to the punters per ticket if pilots did it for free?

$40.
