Not talking about J* rates

The fact is that Qantas Second Officers are earning more than US Widebody Capts & that is why your international business doesn't make money

Plus probably the fact that you take the bum boy along for sectors than nobody else does

440 LH Capts , for what ???

Only 12 Airbus 380s , 26 A330s , not a lot of 747s - a dozen perhaps, what an excessively high crewing ratio you guys have

Especially when you consider at least 16 of the 330s are domestic usage only ; standard crew ratio of 5:1 - well that's how the rest
of the world does it anyway

You have them crewed at ULR ratios , for an airline that primarily does regional international flying

Truly Bizarre
