If I were a "layman" and I were handed a pilot pay document, I would expect to see:
Annual Salary: (x) For Captain/FO/SO increased with CPI annually
Overtime: (x) For Hours flown above a threshold say (80 per month) based on the annual salary divided into an hourly rate.
Allowances: Aust Govt amount converted into local currency
Annual Leave: 6 weeks
Sick Leave: 15 days per year + URTI
Training: 10 percent more
Training and Checking: 15 percent more
Management: 20 percent more
This is a lot simpler than a 504 page doorstop.
The public isn't going to understand how a SO can make more than an FO perhaps even an EJET Captain with overtime and seniority bidding. The public isn't going to understand that their are career SO's making more than specialist doctors. The public isn't going to understand why QF pilots are paid more than Jetstar pilots. If 8/10 people are leaving the country on foreign carriers, I guess their also not concerned about foreign crews flying them around as long as they meet the standard. I fear the public could actually "blame" you.
Could I get some insight into these points without creating a bunfight? This is not a wind up.
