The company line is that pay rises will be 3% + efficiency gains
I wonder how much efficiency gains this optimiser will give them ?
Jeppesen claim savings in the range up to 15% in crew costs using the Jeppesen crew pairing optimiser.
Other claims made by Jeppesen are "retiming" (roster changes mid duty ?), "more profit" and "take fatigue risk into account during optimization for optimum trade-offs with other KPI's". We all know what this means.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jetstar are expecting at least a 10% reduction in crewing costs or more. Isn't this the efficiency gains they want ?
The fact that that pilots will be more efficient, whether it was a trade off made during negotiations or not, is still an efficiency gain.
If pilots will be working harder, more efficiently, more time away from home, shorter rest periods, more dead heading, more roster disruptions, then pilots should expect an appropriate increase in pay to reflect this hard work.
Isn't this just part of their plan or expectation, to just burn pilots out after 5 years. This shows how much they really care about pilots health, wellbeing and quality of life.
