Yes Qantas pay well, but it's never really been a secret. This is why it's always been a very competitive and difficult process to gain employment with Qantas. Those that do meet the standard are therefore of a very high caliber. This has benefited the airline by allowing them to achieve a very high safety record. I believe the saying is, "pay peanuts, attract monkeys"...? It's unfortunate that some airlines (both within and outside Australia) seem to be happy with monkeys up the front.
