Maybe if they paid decent coin……
Or put pilots where they want to be based....
I never really understand this. If an employer says, would you you like a job at base X flying aircraft A, then you either say yes or no. If you take the job why do pilots feel they can complain that they want to be at base Y or on aircraft B? Now if at the time of offer a base or fleet change was offered/hinted/suggested/dangled then fair enough but if you get what you were offered then I cannot see pilots have a recourse to complain. Of course we will, because we can.
I imagine the three choices of Adelaide, Darwin or Townsville are becoming less attractive as the market shifts to supply shortages of pilots?
