Anyone think current Airbus and widebody Captains will knock back a direct entry command?
If any current pilots think the terms are so unacceptable in the current market that no one will operate under them then they’re living in a bubble.
If any current pilots think an extra few days work per year is unviable then don’t forget a lot of other airlines don’t count full time in the bunk towards flight hours, they’re actually logging heaps more than 850hrs per year. For them the proposed 350 conditions are less work and fatigue.
There will be zero problem finding pilots for this new entity if the vote is No.
tell them they are dreaming
$400k for a captain for the "new" setup operation. People who believe that are delusional. I expect that captains will be on $250k or less and F/O's $150k or less. If they are so confident of getting the bums on seats, they will offer a crap deal. Don't think taking a crap deal and then trying to strongarm a better deal later will be an option.
Yes, I am one of those working overseas, on a contract, in a country where the employment rules are nowhere near as robust as Aus and the working conditions are "challenging" to say the least. eg, duty limit 15 hrs, with max flight time 12 hours, 2 crew ops, any time of the day or night.
