V Australia-Tell me it aint true! (Merged Thread)
Tank, As a number of QF B737 Captains earn more than the junior B744 Captains then it would be valid to also say that the V Oz B773 pay is 2/3's of the QF B744 pay.
Capt Fathom, I understand that there is an agreed ratio of existing DJ pilots to DEC's. I don't have the details though.

Going Boeing,
Urban myth, just get contracts off AIPA site and do the maths.
I've been on 744,737 and now A330, with 151 and minimal O/T the 744 is going to be above 737 [without mentioning the workload!]
You are right though that it is generally less and hopefully can be increased due to the lack of qualified drivers happening worldwide!
The point is that some people think V oz's "rumoured" pay is good[it is not]!
Australia is a great place and I well understand why many would accept lower pay to live here [myself included] but it is still a sub standard deal, Jetstar even worse.[My mates O/S would love to come back but asked if the numbers were "monthly, fortnightly or weekly!?]
The way the $US dollar is going this may start looking better of course!

The exodus from South Africa
Just heard - Jetstar is coming to South Africa to recruit pilots. They offer employment and sponsored visa's for suitable candidates. Interviews in Jnb from 8 Jan 08. The excodus is about to start.... the Yarpies are coming
The fact is J* can't recruit the Yarpies with sponsored visas at this stage with the immigration rules as they stand, so keep dreaming boys. Also change of govt will put more pressure on the dodgy visas already issued by J* and now Virgin Australia. Time to get the ACTU to start having a close look at what has happened already. Is it true that President IW at AIPA has formed closer links with the ACTU over the last couple of years? Good stuff I say.

True, a Dragonair guy I know asked them if the numbers mentioned were weekly, fortnightly or monthly. His reply when told monthly was F%$£ off!!
He would love to come home but not for peanuts!

I hope Jetstar don't use 457 visa's like another branch of the QF company.
Those guys got screwed too and will probably go back home soon too!
Yep, all is ok, bring your family put your kids in school, move the dog and live like real Aussies.
Aussies with no rights, no medicare card nothing. Left to rot because your new employer is using you to make up numbers.

Break Right.
You got the call for an interview?
Reason I ask is I was flying so got a message left on cell and they said will call me in a couple of days. Don't want to get hopes up but...
What hours have you got and what position did you apply for? I see the applications close 14 Dec now.
