People have short memories.
Most occupations don’t have a pay rise per year beyond CPI/3% just because you’ve been there additional years.
It’s fairly simple. Look at the pay rate offered and plan your finances on that. With what they’re proposing new hire pilots (academy grads, GA pilots working in the bush on half that pay) aren’t going to say no to that deal just because the pay rises top out after 4 years and they can’t make $250k as a 380 SO.
I’m undecided about the whole EBA itself but that aspect of it won’t be an issue in attracting new recruits.
