Whoo Hoo Whoo Hoo

& from the Age stating Metro train drivers average $102K & Vline $120 K , hardly epic numbers
Selective quoting of data is easy & quoting what the driver of the longest iron ore train , at the most wealthy iron ore company , driving
the most technically complex train , whilst interesting doesn't reflect the average train driver
Seems like we have clarified the earnings of diesel fitters are
What did the ten year Virgin SO earn ? (I will just say higher or lower)

Absolutely BS the going rate for a Diesel fitter is $85 an hour. I have several in my family and can assure you they are beyond $200K hence my reference to a diesel fitter

Your yet to divulge how large you pay is - so we can decide if its too grandiose.
or are you another frustrated travel agent

Oh goodness me a veiled threat by an anonymous internet poster
You guys see shadows everywhere , somebody has a different opinion to you
& you think it is appropriate to threaten & belittle them
What class what sophistication you display
I'm quite ambivalent towards airline pilots if you must know ; think of them like I might think about a radiographer or crane driver , garden variety librarian etc & that sums to
not a whole lot
Just present accurate data & stop telling these fantastic stories about the earnings of others
& then shrieking so defensively when accurate information re; Virgin earnings is revealed

You’re not very clever Telfer. When would a librarian have sole control and responsibility of an asset worth potentially upwards of 500million Australian dollars hurtling through the atmosphere at 86% the speed of sound 10 kilometres above the earths surface with 500 lives onboard? A crane driver would have more responsibility than a librarian, but still. You may not like us and believe all we do is push the big red button, but get a grip. You’re showing how ignorant you are. I’d stop it if I had been so comprehensively rebuked as you, but I guess you think we are too thick to realise how stupid you are. We aren’t.

it ain't rocket science to work out an average & that will be North of 239/155, I would be confident I am on the mark

I don't need to Telfor. Just telling you how it actually is, as its obvious you don't really understand much. But as you seem to be a garden variety librarian, I'm glad you're able to blow yourself.

The Qantas Group, for example, has 30,000 staff of which about 3000 are pilots. Their cost relative to the cost of fuel and other expenses has remained relatively constant for many years. What has grown is the number of 'managers' and 'directors' on salaries equivalent to say, a First Officer and it's here that labor costs have grown significantly.

Good data. And oops, I fu#ked up by a percent or two. What was the result for 2017, 18,19? I imagine 2020, year if the COVID, will be interesting as well considering labor and fuel costs will be down somewhat.

You really think about that every time you report for duty do you? Hurtling through the atmosphere at 86% of the speed of sound 10ks up...................asset worth whatever, 500 lives in your hands blah blah blah!
More akin to will I choose the chicken or beef today? And a cup of Twinings Earl Grey to go with it!
And btw, the only life you're thinking about is your own. The rest looks after itself!
i can't believe the amount of garbage that's wheeled out on this site. Good for some popcorn and a laugh though!

The QLD government could be setting a dangerous precedent here, I understand the importance in preserving jobs, but, buying an airline that wont make money for a few yrs to come. What happens if other private company's struggle.

[QUOTE=George Glass;10781062]Well at least your pseudonym is accurate.

Ahhhhh George!
If only you knew! But continue to believe in your over inflated sense of importance and marvellous abilities by all means.
My job is not The one in question here. It actually keeps people on the coal face employed.
