Also capt cloudbuster's numbers are not quite right. Current hourly rate is $183.43. And while a recent average of bonus's may be $3000, this years 8% and next years probably similar %, of ~200K is obviously more than $3000.
Still less than many get paid but better than had been suggested. You certainly work for the dough though.
No doubt! But, I'd love to work 70-80 hours and get that remuneration. At the jQ its 100-105 hours a month, including DTA and a day off payment here and there, and year to date on the 15th of Dec is $108,000 as an A320 FO. So the pay is awesome, but that's what I call working hard!
Less than 2 years to go and it's back to Qantas! I hear some blokes are trying to get back early, and why wouldn't you.
