So when it all falls in a heap they will just move onto the next project and all is forgotten. As long as you don't end up in a royal commission or go broke it's all good.
Agree. Think Red Q, Jetstar Hong Kong. Grand visions with no execution.
Unless they pay mega bucks they are not going to attract instructors.
Qantas wont want to pay for it and it wont be ready in time or of a big enough scale as others have said.
When you have a SH EBA and a LH eba coming up its a great thing to threaten with an obvious shortage.
Emirates can’t get pilots or Training pilots and are cancelling flights now.
Alan would be livid that pilots are in a strong bargaining position. Sadly AIPA lack conviction and strong leadership and the pilots are not confident so I doubt much will be achieved in the largest shortage in history. Like to say I’m wrong but a great majority would take a pay cut just for a new toy.
