You expect anyone to believe that?

I strongly doubt it. Don’t forget the current FWC Commissioners were mostly appointed under Abetz, Porter and Cash. They come from circles where unions are hated and greater ‘productivity’ (ie less...

Why then is QF (the topic of this thread btw) always massively oversubscribed for recruitment? By a ratio of 4-5x as many positions as required? And it is uncommon to hear of mainline pilots...

As a thought would 1 October to 19 December being spring and summer in Australia mean more recreational flying happening vs the start of winter in the US, therefore more flying activity?

It’s a different platform. You can’t be an A320 pilot and go and fly a 737 the next day without significant retraining - ie not the same job.

Thats how I’d read it - I’m not certain because this...

Once upon a time the airline had 747-300s flying trans continental between SYD/MEL to PER. Now it’s mostly 737. Should that be justification for 737 pilots to get paid 747 salaries?

Currently an NAA Capt is on $186k for 65 hours per BP. I believe the previous proposals had the new salary around $220-230k. For every hour above 65 they get $120 per hour plus a $500 for a day off....

You can’t really compare salaries with passenger numbers. A JQ A321LR carries just 2 less passengers than a QF 787 but the pilot salaries are widely dissimilar.

Current rate for a JQ narrowbody Capt is $232k. If it ends up in a FWC determination even beyond the BOOT test there’s no way the FWC will determine a rate outside of the $220-230k ballpark.

75 738s to go over 10 years so an order of 8 XLRs to replace a year’s worth of 738 retirement makes sense, if they’re just ordering a years worth of replacements at a time.
