The rosters seem stable, demanding call out and weather, remote strips, black holes.....
Experience levels used to be demanded extremely high.
Why have pilot wages been allowed to slip?
Yes the public think its a charity service hence the huge amounts raised in the public arena. Yet private companies that may tender low to win the contract but then? Where does all the money raised go?
Why are these drivers not some of the best paid???
They don't give a **** about their current pilots and and have no qualms about breaching the EBA when it suits them, so why would the current Pilots want to stay!!
