[Chuffed 99]

Hi all,

After searching google a few times, I can't seem to find all the good stuff.
Accurate route details, up to date fleet numbers, management, history, pay and conditions, time to command, interview info etc.

Can anyone here help? I have an interview lined up.

cheers

Rocksteady, hi.

Yup I looked there, and thank you for your info.

What's that saying that goes something like...

He who asks a question is ignorant for a minute,
He who doesn't is ignorant for ever.

Sunstate have had 8 Dash8-300's now for just on one year.

-300, SBB, SBG, SBI, SBJ, SBT, SBV, SBW, SCE
-200, SDA, SDE
-100, TNU, TNW, TNX

Also add to the network Blackall, and as of last week no longer go to Gold Coast.

Bases are in Brisbane and Cairns

About 5-7 years at moment for command

[Boomerang]

And 7 Dash 8-400s ordered for Sunstate/Eastern with options on 10 more. Due to arrive at rate of 1 per month from January. Allocations aren't yet confirmed but I would guess Sunnies would get the first one/few?

Sunstate

Other info required please;

Pay and Allowances for
FO?
Capt?

Amount if service requireed to get a CNS base?

Roster period? (How far in advance do the rosters go?)

[grrowler]

Pay and Allowances

...

Yep, you pay 10 grand to get the job

Wait it out....

Have a look at www.wagenet.gov.au , you should find what your looking for. Just follow the prompts. Dash 8 f/o approx 45k

[Hatchet Harry]

Had a look at the Sunnies EBA and a first year Dash F/O is paid just over $47k.... The Only Eastern EBA I could find indicated that a first year Dash F/O gets just over $44k

Surely the pay would be the same for all Q-Link crew flying the same machine?????

Can somebody out there clarify this?

I would assume with allowances etc that a first year F/O with Sunstate would get around $50k.....

Thanks to anyone with an answer

[hoss]

and dont forget to say in the interview that Q400 Captains will be getting 120K, you'll put a smile on their faces .
