Home transport for Long Range Flying is the same for QAL and QCCA. The hourly salary rate is different but the triggers for over time on those rates are the same. ie 12 hours and 14 hours.
The other main difference is that QAL crew get a Long Range Allowance that dates back to the 1980's and the introduction of the 747-SP.
Meal Allowances in Slip ports are the same for all Qantas Group International Flight Attendants (ie London/Auckland/OZ crew and QCCA)

To add to the above responses; ... Meal allowances for our 35-hr slip in LA is currently $215, paid in cash at check-in to the hotel. And my last couple of LAX trips were worth about $240 each in overtime... (I am QCCA A380, contrary to what my username implies)
The occasional 5-day LAX which we have out of SYD, and which MEL has on a regular basis, is a 59-hr slip - roughly. Quite decent!

Yes but the A380s wont be flying to LAX anytime soon by the rumours at QCC.
And on that note, just out of curiosity, what are all the A380 crew doing with themselves with only 1 A/C back in the air?
Have they managed to get alot of you endorsed on the 744 so you can at least fly somewhere? How are they allocating trips? Are they forcing leave? If you operate on the 744 do you get all the QAL benefits again?
I feel sorry for you guys at the moment!
