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.
Well if expat pilots are willing to work under the proposed conditions for even less pay then that shows how much more out of touch those who think the proposed conditions are unacceptable are being.
