People are so quick to dig the boot in with talk of being the "worst paid narrow body pilots in the country" but here they are using smart and legal tactics to improve their conditions but others want to condem them...
JB will certainly think twice about attempting to replace you with cheaper crew if said crew have proven to have an industrial backbone and know how to fight for a fair EBA.
You should be thanking your Tiger cousins.


Is the AFAP the only industrial organisation with members at Tigerair?
Yes.

Seems like the Tiger boys and girls, joined one union (a pilot union with 3,500 members that negotiates EBA covering instruction, charter, chopper, and airlines) and used legal means to put pressure on their employer, to become the best paid A320 pilots in the region.

The tiger pilots used the KISS principal and got a great result.

Why are fellow pilots looking to poke holes in that?

TIGER & JETSTAR both require you to be type rated on A320 before you start. It would be smart to budget 2 months without pay for endorsement & a start date.

JETSTAR type rating approximately $38,000. TIGER don't mind where you source your type rating (significant saving possible).

JETSTAR A330/B787 add approximately 10 percent to A320 wages.

CAUTION - All new starters with JETSTAR are "flex-time". Flex-time is a 75% salary & overtime threshold drops from 75 hrs to 62 hrs. Full time is offered once a percentage cap is reached (10%). Time to full time is anyones guess with movement slowing this year.

JETSTAR EBA is expired and pilots have been told the QF group pay freeze applies until the group returns to profit.

Could someone confirm or disprove the rumour that JETSTAR NZ pilots now make more than JETSTAR AU?

Tiger FO Level 1,2,3.

By the way what determines Tiger Level1,2 or 3 salary scale.

If one obtained a position with Tiger with over 5000 hours total and over 2500 jet and a 1000 hours command on jet aircraft with a MTOW of over 40K. what level would he commence on.

Regards

Years of service determine the level.
