As a 10 year FO with Virgin I can tell you that I’ve never made 190k. I’d need to work 70% of my days off to bank that kind of scratch. |

Selective quoting of data is easy
however: “60 hrs/rp 10.5 rp/yr $300k/yr capt NB average $190k/yr FO NB average” would indicate you somehow struggle with it Dopey |

(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 |
You guys see shadows everywhere , somebody has a different opinion to you & you think it is appropriate to threaten & belittle them |

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.

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.

Wasn't PS head of QLD rail? and people think the link with John Sharp and the Nationals is on the nose.

Don't have a lot of faith in a State Govt. that can't even remember to renew their Insurance policies...

My job is not The one in question here. It actually keeps people on the coal face employed. Well , I think that last post is a bit of a give away. Youre not Tech. Crew are you? Probably don’t even fly. One of the unfortunate things I learned way back in `89 was that what ever people say to your face professing admiration for your profession evaporates in an instant when they turn their back and a sense of grievance, humiliation , perceived disadvantage and just plain jealously kick in. No one on this thread who is a professional pilot should expect any sympathy from the general public. Australians really don’t like anybody who step above the mediocre. Sad, but thats the way it is. |

Queensland Government moves to buy stake in coronavirus-hit Virgin Australia

im not fluent in Swahili, are you drinking Grange from the 90's ? Go QIC hell yeah - maybe chairman Lim will have some subsidised routes vaporise if VAH is owned by QIC. would undermine his tilt at narrow bodies with $108million in his pocket courtesy of the naughty nationals. |

-41, No you are not and negative, but thanks for asking- appreciate it.
Go QIC hell yeah Rgds S28 |
Mr Dick, head of the QLD treasury, is prepared to waste $ 200 million on an airline with no guarantee of a future. Governments are not here to invest in failed commercial enterprises. The $ 200 million needs to go towards services for all Queenslanders, and hopefully, the QIC will disregard this proposal as the brain fart of yet another Palaszczuk government idiot looking for a village.

Cheer up Con, it will be more than 200million

Can't be OZ, I believe in everything the government tells me :ugh:

Three frontrunners emerge in the race to buy Virgin Australia
Ex 'the NEWDAILY' (Updated: 27m ago) link here: https://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/f...gin-australia/
Extract/qoute here: "Three frontrunners have emerged in the race to buy Virgin Australia. Before Friday’s deadline for non-binding initial offers, investment firms Brookfield, BGH Capital and Bain Capital have emerged as the favourite parties to lead consortiums that buy the beleaguered airline. The Australian Financial Review said there was an outside chance that iron ore magnate Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest, or the state governments of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland could lead a potential fourth group of bidders. And the Queensland government has since announced plans to bid for the airline, with new state Treasurer Cameron Dick describing the government as “a serious contender” that had made good progress in discussions with the administrators. Sources close to the bidding process told the AFR the fourth contender would join forces with one of the other consortiums if its bid fell through, with the “serious number crunching and bidding” expected to get under way next week," ......................................

I honestly believe this would be the worst outcome if Virgin are to succeed long term.. Bain and Co and the private equity mobs might make some tough decisions and right sizing initially but I think with their intense focus on cost and turnarounds at least it will keep the airline going for a long time even if they do sell it off a few years later they will have built a sustainable foundation. |
They should just stick to their area of expertise, like stuffing up the rail network. |

Costs and turnarounds won't involve Hrdlicka - her track record at Jetstar and A2 were not exactly stellar.

I hope the managers and safety department don’t get ahold of today’s Australian newspaper, multiple photos of a First Officer conducting a walk around not complying with A1 manual and uniform policy.
