I do question the motivation of one of the posters here that bangs on about QF pilot pay. His comparison of a top QF Capts pay, including overtime and allowances, against a 1st year EK Capts basic salary would suggest just a lot of manipulation of the truth.
Perhaps if he had used the top EK scale his argument would not be as strong. EK basic salary + flying pay would be close to the QF numbers. Add housing allowance (if taken) and education allowance for kids and training allowance and he is way in front. CX top scale leaves the EK one way behind. So it would seem the QF numbers are in fact middle of the road.
I can only assume he has misrepresented the other figures he has quoted as well.
