For the record basic not including anything i.e. No super, overtime, allowances, DDO payments, ect Captain is $225k year sliding up to $260k over the life of the EBA 3 years.
I think you might be trying to make it better than it looks Voz1. You start by saying the pay is basic not including anything (ie Super) is 225K sliding up to 260K after 3 years. The 225K is correct - BUT the 260K approx
INCLUDES SUPER. Why change your 3 year figure to make it look better than it is? Dont forget, you sacrificed 3% super as part of the pay rise, as it was previously 12% super.
This EBA is extremely good for company, lots of celebrations there, it is also good for
existing VA pilots because they accepted such crap conditions in the 1st place (any pay rise would keep them happy), but it stuffs any chance the
VB pilots have of getting fair pay for the A330 (yet to be included in the EBA), and does not leave much room for 737 payrises. The companies comeback to any payrises will be something along the lines of "why pay you lot anymore than $X, when V Aus 777 pilots only get X amount?"
While certainly better than the contracts originally accepted, it is very short-sighted, and could shaft the majority of
VB pilots.
So just for clarity, if a 737 captain transferred today, how many years would it take him to get to your starting salary?
4 years!!
