Cobham 717 Captain pay $160K, QF 737 Captain pay $230K
So let me get this straight,
A Cobham 717 in the new config 12 business, 98 economy, total 110 pax
vs
A Qantas 737-800 12 business, 156 economy, total 168 pax.
As opposed to the flight crew on Cobham where a skipper earns $160k
vs
at Qantas where a Skipper earns $230K.
If my math is correct that's about a 4% advantage to the Qantas skipper per seat is it not??
Probably less with the massive surplus in Short Haul now, and the corresponding lack of hours, putting some doubt on the $230k assertion!
We'll be ROONED said Hanrahan (or insert the name of another Irish spanner as appropriate!)
