P.S I know for a fact a 330 SO will clear about 170-175K.

Imagine what the GRUBBY Lame is making signing for that A380.to bad this thread is actually about triplers and not pilots pay packets, think some of you stick jockeys would be surprised by what those dirty low life's earn.
Let's get back on track the old 777 rumour is just that a rumor.

Or a Bag Chucker for that matter 
QF will need to deal with the clusterf@#k that is the 787 for the next few years before the 777 can be considered.
If its Boeing I ain't...

Can I suggest that rather than wish upon fellow pilots the same crap money and conditions that you might have, you instead strive to improve your own conditions to something like theirs?
We don't need to add the pilot body weight to the accelerator for the race to the bottom, management seem to have that all sorted by themselves.
You want to complain about someone making 200k when their CEO rakes in 7mil. Whats that saying about trees and forest.

Well, first hand from a senior QF Executive - QF will "NEVER" see the 777.
That must mean it is a goer, just like another very senior QF executive who stated separating QF Int loss from QF Dom was a "big mistake" and would never happen again. Three weeks later, the official split was announced.

Popped up to KSA (Sunday 17-2, yesterday) to pick up a mate arriving from the States visiting for the first time. Promised him I would try to capture his arrival about 19.00) although there are no 777s in this video, I was stunned how hard you all work at this hour of the day, 016 R was full bore, as busy as any major Airport in the world, the heavies dominated the show, so good, I almost forgot to pick up me mate! Pilots earn their keep, it really was clockwork...
( incidentally, on the way home after picking up my mate, I asked him the usual formality.. "how was the flight", he answered quickly,
"memorable!"

"Apologies for thread drift, last time I noticed the UA 744 crew clearing SYD Immigration there were 2 Captains and 2 F/O's, the QF guys had 1 Capt.
1 F/O and 2 S/O's, which crew is more expensive ?"
I dont know about EK, but the UA crew would be considerably cheaper than the QF crew despite carrying more bars on the shoulder per seat than QF. Plus QF is at a disadvantage by having SO's that cant crew flights if required when an FO goes sick.
I have a friend who was at just over 130k on his W2 rhs 744 at UA AFTER the wage rise!!!!
Thats 100k short of some you chaps on the same a/c type!

LR3, I didn't start the rumour, I just felt the need to vent. I am sick of working with people who have their heads in cloud cuckoo land. We are not getting them. Seems a lot disagree. According to this weeks rumour.

It is so good to have people on a better wicket than you. You can label them greedy, overpaid, a'holes, whatever. But there comes a day when they then become extinct, and all those lower on the pole cheer and shout with joy.
Pity help those who are the next highest on the pole. Suddenly they become the hunted. And it just may be those who cheered and shouted, and spread misinformation, to assist in the demise of those above them, who are suddenly the new kings, soon to be in the target sights.
At the same time, those unemployed tossers who you were overjoyed to see punted, suddenly have to accept any old contract in order to keep the family together and put food on the table. Making your once B grade contract look well and truly generous. And the target gets bigger.
Exactly why Australian aviation is screwed. We are our own worst enemies who would never back each other up. Glad retirement is close.

Just like watching a bunch of pre-schoolers in a sandpit...
And you guys want to be taken seriously by QF management and a sympathetic public?

I would suggest that the majority of respondents to this thread are not QF mainline pilots. Draw your own conclusion as to who they are and the purpose of their posts.
I am taken seriously by both parties you mention thanks.
