The Qf 380's heading to Dubai ex MEL and SYD will have (I believe) 1 Capt. 1 F/O and 2 S/O's, the EK crew have 2 Captains and 2 F/O's........which crew is more expensive ?
QF 777's.......as if.
Possibly the Qantas crew.
You have to compare gross packages for the crew and you have to factor it for the number of hours the operator can get from the crew for that amount of money.
You can't say "but we pay huge tax". The cost to the operating company is your gross package, not your after tax package.
What does a four man EK crew gross per year and compare that to a QF crew. Include all costs for the EK crew for sure.
Wouk be interesting to see the result
