To quote News.com.au from 2011, this was the statement:
"The highest paid captain of an A380 gets $536,000 - an increase of more than $40,000 on last year - and the average A380 captain's wage is only $415,000. AIPA president Captain Barry Jackson said Qantas pilots' pay was around the middle of international rates and far less than CEO Alan Joyce's $5 million pay packet."
The above quote was attributed to 'leaked' AIPA documents.
On the subject of AJ's CEO package I note with interest a financial times article that states:
"The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organisations found CEOs in the Fortune 500 made an average 380 times the average worker’s pay in 2011"
So on this measure if AJ earns $5,000,000 then the average worker would earn around $13,500. There is a lot of talk on here that the Qantas CEO gets paid way to much, but it would seem on the world scale of CEO pay packets his is actually quite low in comparison to other big companies.
