Truck drivers earning $150 K - Good for them.
A QF domestic 737 F/O averaging say 75 hours per the 10 months a year at work. Adjusted for inflation, seems to me to be on par with the early 90’s. Perhaps you don’t live in the same suburbs these days due housing inflation.

On edit…my daughter’s former school now costs $30K ++. That’s with after tax dollars too. And being the poorest kid in class does them no favours either.
When I was young, the elite private schools were loaded with kids whose Dad’s were airline pilots. TAA, Cathay, AN and QF. Now, few can afford it. One reason I’d send my kids to an elite private school is so’s they don’t think 150K a year is a freakin’ awesome wage!
I’ve always thought private school is the worst investment possible. Studies show by the time the kids hit university former public school students earn higher marks than privately educated ones.
I love the studies you can find.
.
The study found that, after taking account of the different socio-economic background of students in school sectors, private schools are not associated with higher average student achievement in standardized literacy and numeracy tests at any grade
Bogan maybe, only then to deal with hard narcotics. I went to an elite private. According to my parents, they had the same motivation in keeping away from derilects. Problem is, theyre just a different shade. Much like aviation companies really.

Perhaps the private school kids fail at not understanding the current fashionable ‘issues’ that the university’s are currently peddling..
At any rate, a lot of what passes for ‘education’ at university can be better learnt on-line now days.
Best drugs you could buy when I was at highschool were from the Private School students.
The public schools most I ever saw around was reefers, dopeheads, dope was uncool at private school.
Education stats are also a farce, be very careful how they actually achieve this. Several exclusive schools I've been involved with will take your money and accept your child up to about year 10 with no issues, then if they are not averaging higher grades they will be pushed out of the school before year 11/12 so that the tested averages for the school remain high. That is then used to justify their higher fees as they claim being consistently in the top 10% etc. Public schools are no allowed to push students out as long as they are not disruptive, so they will always have lower averages for exam scores and uni entrance ratings.
Bullying can be a problem in the public system, but also have to remember most of those types filter out of the system by year 10 and drop out.
Out of the 100s I went to school with, the most successful individuals were through the public system. By successful I mean they definitively increased their standing in society from where they started. Most of the private school students went on to high paid jobs in line with or less than their parents achievements, whether the education helped, or more the family contacts is debatable, you will also get contacts in the private school environment. Some educated professions can also be a 'club' where certain avenues need to be adhered to. A large number of my public school student mates came from very little and rose to own their own businesses, one now owning an import wholesaler, several stores and restaurants. More of the public school people I know went in to their own businesses and have done fairly well.
I was a problem child and attended 2 different well know private schools and a few public schools. The only difference I found between them other than cost and uniforms was the illegal stuff that was present. The private school I was offered hard drugs, and guns, the dealers know who has money and target them, just like they target footballers and such.

Maybe Oz needs a new prime minister with a backbone… Like Italy for example…
“…Why is the family so frightening?
There is a single answer to all these questions. Because it defines us. Because it is our identity. Because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity, and to simply be the perfect consumer slaves. And so they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can’t define myself as Italian, Christian, women, mother, No. I must be citizen x, parent 1, parent 2……”

Actually we just got a new one, the Australian people just rejected out a “traditional family values Christian” and put one with a backbone in. I’d take that as a sign Binghi that people are sick of your attempt to start a RW culture war in this country.
I am on track this year to make about that, including O/T though. Base $250k plus the allowances etc and that is a narrow body command.
.
Honestly why do you persist on injecting your irrelevant politics into every thread? People trying to talk about pilot wages or the industry and you keep harping on about climate denial, anti vax or anti LGBT nonsense that has no relevance to the topic? Take it to JB.

At the moment 75 hours a month would give an F/O around 220k including allowances, QF mainline 737. If you chase flying and work hard you can achieve 300k but that’s at pretty much max stick hour limit.
