How did the negotiations go? Did ALPA /Pilots have to threaten strike action or was the management well informed of the current supply and demand issue and accepted a significant pay rise was overdue?
I only ask because down here in Aus and NZ we have been accepting only 2-3% inflationary adjustments for years and we have let pay in real terms lag far behind from what it used to be.
Simply VX were not paying market rates, that’s why they got large increases. Can’t compare to Aus or NZ because operators here pay double what VX offers They never applied large increases since they started back in 2007, while everyone else did.
