I kinda think it's ok that the Captain of an A380 is on 4 ung. What the f@rk is it with people?
Great that you think that Jack.

What is interesting is that given the 'work rate' involved between the A380 and other aircraft types, there are a number of QF drivers (including many on the dugong) who think the A380 overpaid- at least as it compares to those other types and those relative work rates. That doesn't mean that QF drivers are underpaid on the other types either as most of those on those other types consider what we are paid to be reasonable and comparable with others around the world.

An A380 pay rate is about 23% more than mine. Personally I'd be quite happy to fly an A380 for that rate of pay and just get overtime minute for minute only when I go beyond the planned tour of duty. 787 on 767 rates- perhaps plus a percent or two given it's marginally bigger? No problem.
