Working a 'normal' year, $1.30 per pax, per hour for a 767 captain. If you include the fact I get paid to do my checks, $1.33.

Given that we've had a couple of quiet years, it works out to $1.41 per pax, per hour.

I don't think the pilots should be held accountable that they're not flying 'normal' hours at the moment. The stuff ups in establishments are a function of crap management. Yes, that would be costing Qantas a bit extra at the moment- hard to say how much- but none of us particularly like being unproductive.

FGD, you're trying to build a straw man. Our hourly rate isn't a stick hour rate. It's a 'credit hour' which is a completely different thing. The 'premium' that you're trying to grasp not really relevant in a credit hour system. Colleagues of mine have done less stick hours than me but they've done more standby duties protecting the operation and thus have been paid more.
