The lowest paid Australian jet pilots in fact have a huge amount of industrial responsibility, because they’re effectively demonstrating what the industry minimum can be for everyone above them. Lower that standard enough, and those 9,500 above you are at risk of losing their work as greedy management break legacy jobs apart and play everyone against each other.
You
CANNOT be serious?
Have a look at what a Qantas pilot was paid, in real terms, 25 years ago and tell me who's gone further backwards, the Qantas pilot or the "lowest paid Australian jet pilot." You're kidding yourself mate.
