Applies from: 01/07/2023

Allowance Description

In addition to the minimum weekly rate, employees will be paid a flying allowance of $16.40 per hour. The flying allowance will be paid for scheduled block hours only and will not be paid for any flight where employees have not operated as a cabin crew member.

Example of how the flying allowance works

If a cabin crew member’s average scheduled hours in a roster period are approximately 120 hours, of these 120 hours on average about 90 hours would be block hours, that is, the time that the employee is actually operating as a cabin crew member on a flight. Thus in the roster period,  in addition to the employee’s minimum rate of pay, the employee would earn an additional $1395.00 pay per month ($16.40 x 90 block hours).
