QF S/O salary??
Just spoke to a mate of mine at QF who told me he has been paid (gross not net friggin obviously for the people below who need to get a life) $149,825 for the financial year just ended as an S/O.
Pretty damn good I think.
Just wondering what is the record for most ever earned in a year by a QF S/O? Any ideas anyone?

there is a simple case of terminology error slipping into this thread.
Quite simply, no SO will ´CLEAR´´ $160K in Qantas.
They could (top of the pile, LA Barons) GROSS 160K though.
Cheers.

He cleared $160 000 in one year????? Net??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAA..........!!!!!
Yeah right! So this SECOND OFFICER was paid a gross salary of about $230 000 or so, hey??
That must mean a -400 capt would be grossing about - ohhhh.... - $500 000 or so? Maybe more???
Ya dreaming mate. Enjoy it while it lasts
, you will eventually have to wake up and pull ya head out ya arse.
I seem to recall trying to explain to some pilots, recently, the difference between gross and net. Why is it so many pilots are so badly educated? I always thought you had to be reasonably smart to drive the big stuff???

They'd be chasing some extra hours in there as well. Pretty hard to get to $160K on straight divisor even if you're doing non stop LAX-MEL on year 12 pay!
In fact, a year 12 S/O on the 744 needs to be doing 40 hours of O/T per bid period to get $146K. Of course, I'd say the number of $160K probably has about 15-20K of allowances built into it as well!

Maybe this SO was one of these former hosties who actually got off their @rse and got a licence instead of moaning to each other and anyone else who'll listen about pilots all day long......
That way he/she'd already be trained up on how to shut down the metabolism and survive a three-day layover on a single packet of noodles.
Just think how much extra dough you'd rake in if you never bought any food or booze!!!
Or maybe he operates a Jim's Mowing lawn-mowing franchise whenever he's not at work sleeping in the warren.
Maybe it's The Lawnmower Man!!! I heard he joined Qwantas.... is it true???

Honestly, this forum is full or derisive nutcases.
TM stated "cleared" instead of "grossed". So what? I guess you knockers have never made a typo, or a small error in grammar?
The average QF SO on the 400 earns closer to Keg's figures, however I've heard of the really senior guys getting up to $180K gross. Plenty of overtime in that though.

And why would you get off the graviest gravy train of all?

Mr Buzzy,
Your above comment is exactly correct - for a professional bludger (pays better than the dole) BUT certainly NOT for a professional pilot.
If this is the type of applicant being attracted to QF, then they deserve each other.

Kaptin M,
"Spend it on subsidising the cabin crew when the bill arrives!"
Why should the CC have to pay for the ridiculous amount of piss you guys have to drink in an effort to appear like you have some kind of personality?

Geez, $180K as a S/O? Not only is there extra o/t in there but an extra LA trip every bid period as well!
I'm not going to get even close to that as a year 11 767 F/O. Even if I HAD been flying for the last few months instead of being stuck at home not being able to see properly I still don't reckon I would have gotten close to $160K!
There are some serious issues with our pay system!
