@eaterofclams Well as it's a BA aircraft in the video, and the vagaries of international exchange rates mean a comparison of UK and Australia wages is largely dependant on market sentiment at the time, I was quoting UK£. And I didn't need to search the internet for my figures.

@eaterofclams 900 Hr. Work week? Theres like 8,700 Hrs in a year...And all of that is earned through seniority...getting promoted to a long haul captain takes years and years.

@FlightmanLHR

Dear God...why is the internet so utterly overloaded with smart ass knowitalls

that constantly correct others by throwing bs at them.

According to the QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED FLIGHT CREW (LONG HAUL)

CERTIFIED AGREEMENT top wages bracket earned for Captains:

A380 - $269.16 / hr 747 - $256.35 / hr A330 - $244.14 767 - $219.02

For a 900 hour year, that is $242,244 for the top A380 Captain rank.

@3heiniken Except they don't earn 250k a year. They earn half of that.

[Skankpronger]

@3heiniken 250k a year? i dont think so . more like 100k maybe
