As a pilot with the mainline arm of Jetstar (ie parent company Qantas),I am very concerned with their attempts to drive our conditions and salary down,using US carriers as an example of the low wages that are now the industry norm post 9/11.Can someone over there in the states tell me approximate salary for a widebody international command ie A330.
Jetstar pilots signed off on $180,000pa Australian which is about $135,000US dollars.
Is this really the standard now?
