IWS, it's a fair gap in my book as well, but that's the way it is now and will always be until AA takeover alot more of QF's runs. (but that's another story)
My reply was only really directed at your assertion that
VB get 150K per year in three years time, which is not really the case when you take into consideration all the allowances, as you did for QF pilots.
A
VB pilot in three years time will be earning around 156K plus allowances, (which are not taxed).
Can you tell us all what a 737 captain at QF earns as a base salary before allowances, overtime and DTA? I've heard that they are on around 139K, not sure how accurate that is.
PS, the DTA that QF does get is actually around $4 per hour.
