Depends on overtime, overnights and level (VA has 3 pay levels I think). Also in VA depends on what aircraft you fly (Embraer or 737).

I think a friend told me about $6400 before allowances. He's on Boeing.

He also lives in Australia and all the freedoms and lifestyle that offers, which in his view makes up for the lower income living in another country where those things arent always available.

Pretty much all agreements are on the AFAP website under 'Pilot Groups'. You have to do the digging but the information is there.

Once you get the annual salary you can put it into pay calculator (http://www.paycalculator.com.au/) and it will work out all of the information for you.
