QF Second Officers paid more than Etihad and Emirates Captains, and you guys don't think pilot salaries are a problem.
QF Second Officers paid the same or more than BA narrow body captains ( command takes at least 15 years in Company).
Truly in Disneyland without a ticket
QF "Engineers" - well they call themselves Engineers but they are tradesman who hold a TAFE qualification, they are not recognized by the professional engineers peak body Institute of Engineers. Because they do not hold engineering degrees , they are tradies who quite often have a year 10 education. In the US they proudly call themselves what they actually are aircraft mechanics. So the QF aircraft tradesman who fraudulently call themselves "engineers" almost all getting paid well over $100K (and often up to $150K) for a 38 hour week. Must be the highest paid (for hours worked) tradies in the Land (one exception might be offshore workers) , their wages would often exceed those who do actually have engineering degrees - great pay for a year 10 grad. Likely around twice what your American counterparts are getting
But it is all just the fault of "the management" , the fact that QF wage bill is 24% of costs has nothing to do with it.
