Bout 95k including allowances for a +500 f.o (nz ;( . its the same price for big mac and a beer though- duty free helps !commands pretty quick, and despite the post,indications are that the new agreements are going to start things moving in the right direction, Super,better staff travel and another pay increase coming. if the classic flyers and the NG blokes can agree on how to operate the A/C- it will be a nice little number if you like no sandpits ,no polution etc

BIKKERDENNAH; 
Haven't heard that for awhile 
... howz yours?
No favours there on their behalf ("pay increase") as they are only transferring the commission Conair got, to the workers and doesn't come close to this years CPI, let alone the previous years. $4.20 Kiwi DTA... is nothing. How do you cope with your current exchange rate?
+$6000 NZD at best (=$90,000NZD total).
$41,000 AUD for a Boeing NG rating now (yes?)... the figures don't stack up, especially when VB f/o earns more than PB Capt.
Oh, I see above: expected to work RDO free? Yeh right. Just like I hear V want.
No wonder you're short.

You're right there!
It was an option to come home, prior to their introduced "F.m.S" (Fatigue mis-management system) and their 2 chances at catching up with standard pays around the region but alas.
We're not that desperate (nor stupid).
Plenty more 73 jobs going elsewhere on better terms. Heck, even jetcon.

Well this is a postive move, I see PB have taken the recruitment in house.
Virgin Blue Recruitment: Attention
And call me a simple man but the pay isnt that bad too.
Whats the cost of the rating? Do they have salary sacrifice??
