I think you’ll find the opposite is true. Most Australians are getting hammered by our benevolent corporations in some shape and support fighting back. No one thinks Alan deserves $24m. I’ve heard people say ‘why should Jetstar get paid less than the others for flying the same planes’. You will also find the pilots have significant support within the group.
People are comfortable with pilots making a decent amount of money and not many view 200k as mega dollars at least in Sydney or Melbourne.
