I can also say with 100% reliability that dozens of A330 S/O's are struggling to top 80k after 6 years service
Sorry, I don't mean to detract from the aim of your post (the over exaggeration of
QF t's and C's), of which I agree, but a deliberate bending of the truth only weakens the argument.
A 6 year 330 S/O on MGH should be on a base of around 120k unless they are on a flex line.
