Queensland train drivers earning nearly $200,000


QUEENSLAND’S top-paid train driver took home nearly $76,000 in overtime alone last financial year, nearly an entire full-time Australian salary.

The eye-watering pay packets of Queensland Rail drivers have been revealed by the State Government as it scrambles to fill 200 positions to avoid a repeat of the October 2016 timetable disaster.

In 2016-17, the median base salary for full-time drivers was $95,351.32, with the total pay rising to $130,022.05 including overtime and allowances — nearly 60 per cent higher than the Australian average of $81,531.

Citytrain drivers clocked an average of 6.45 hours of overtime per week, amounting to an extra $511.98, according to the figures released by Transport Minister Mark Bailey in response to a question on notice from the opposition in the Queensland Parliament.

The top-earning driver worked 952.65 hours of overtime last year and was paid a total of $193,507.59. The top five drivers each took home total pay packets of greater than $180,000 for collectively working a total of 4061.34 hours of overtime — more than 169 days between them.

“Queensland Rail’s first priority is safety and all rostering arrangements are in accordance with relevant fatigue management requirements,” Mr Bailey said.

Herein lays the stupidity of wages, a fucking train driver makes considerably more than I do here, these are people who otherwise would not be able to finish a trade apprenticeship. I make considerably more than the average Doctor (GP - sick note writer) her who average $96K AUD (after NINE YEARS OF STUDY)

What in the actual fuck.

How does this stack up with Canada, the UK and the US?? what are some low skilled jobs that pay 6 figures + in your neck of the woods.
