I can say with 100% reliability that the only QF pilots on 350k would be about 75% of A380 Captains, a few dozen 747 Captains and several 737 Captains that do 1000 stick hours per year. In all about 150 of 2000 pilots. I can also say with 100% reliability that dozens of A330 S/O's are struggling to top 80k after 6 years service. QF mainline is a scrambled egg and only the top earners generally get attention. I however agree that the Long haul award is cumbersome and expensive, thus the reason for the company to phase it out. You need your pilots doing 800-1000 stick hours per year and its almost impossible under the Long haul award to do it. But as a final note I don't believe the Long haul award is a major reason why QF is losing it, its management and government policy mainly.
