So now they can cry poor and say “we can’t get crew for it! Pilot shortage! We need expats to come save the day!”

Great for the bottom line as you’ve got import crew flying A320s around on F100 money and the race to the bottom continues....🤢
Ah, no. Unfortunately no announcement as yet on specific pay for the A320. This is incredible since the type is now confirmed for an April start!

Which managers are saying this? There are those who enjoy stirring up **** but who are not involved in pay related matters so I wouldn’t listen to them. Company is currently negotiating pay. Network has always paid roughly the market rate at least for base pay. It’s the extras that are missing. Hopefully in this case the same will apply at a minimum.
