Look at who was offering to do the flying for less than we get. My very limited calculations suggest we got perhaps 20 % more then what Jetstar get for the same aircraft. I will give that somewhere on here a long time ago someone did a direct comparison 787/380 Syd Dallas and yes it’s a lot of hours. But the gravy train had to run dry one day.
The 787 crew (when compared to other airlines) won’t be living in Potts Point but lifestyle will be good, Fatigue is something that will need to be managed. By all accounts everyone I speak to, and they have mostly come from the 330 and very happy all around.
its a step forward to a realistic point that can always be improved on.
Now about the 75 aircraft on the short haul award that most of us are stuck in
Yikes, don’t let this guy in the negotiating room.
EVERYTHING MUST GO!
