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.
Sounds good.... except, the way they play it is that QF significantly delay the EBA negotiations, so that the new one doesn't start until a year or more after expiry. Throw in some token backpay (unless you've gone to short haul in the meantime, then bad luck to you), and so if you're stuck as an SO for 10+ years, you end up losing out on one or more years of "CPI/3%"!! Rinse and repeat for your career, and you will end up many multiples of % behind where you should be!
