Memo to Geoff.
Would you phone my wife and explain where the missing $100+ grand is from my pay packet. And likewise, happy to supply the group certificate and payslips that show my pay doesn't start with a 2,3,4, or 5 for that matter.
And the 1 in front doesn't indicate a mill either.
Also, next time would you compare virgin 737 pilots with qantas 737 pilots wages. You know, like for like.
And it would also be nice if you compared Cathay, Singapore and Emirates figures, just for the sense of balance.
PS call AIPA to get the figures. You might be surprised how far out of accuracy your 50% pay anomaly is. (Must be that dodgy calculator Alan gave you.)
