They started by getting the Chief Pilot to negotiate against his own pilots. How can we trust him to look out for our best interests in anything when he's trying to get us to accept a **** pay offer. He’s a good bloke that doesn’t seem to realise how the company have used him.
Surely CASA wouldn't allow the Chief Pilot to be involved in any industrial negotiations. How can the pilot group have confidence in the flight operation's head if he is negotiating against them?
Seems Babcock isn't really into aviation, they dabbled and the profit margins aren't as good as defence contracts and now the pilots are feeling the pinch. They are selling up their aviation operations around the world, only a matter of time before another operator takes the reins in Aust.
