Good old Oz. We all vote up these pissy agreements, then many just bitch and moan about the conditions for the coming years.
Team Virgin, balls in your court, how about you show everyone how it’s done. For a start, old base pay needs to be reinstated, that’s a given. Absolute non negotiable that one. I wouldn’t be accepting anything less than that plus 20%. But you will probably cave in at current base pay plus 3%. Happy to be proven wrong, although I’ve given up attempting to be proven wrong lately.
The engineers have the right idea. They realise they're trying to sell an airline so PIA is going to hurt them. At least they all stand together and take action. Just hoping the pilots will too. There is nothing positive about working at Virgin. There is no respect for pilots, the T's and C's are the worst of the major airlines, there is no career progression and no help for the many many commuters who got burnt during COVID. The airline needs a proper seniority list, needs pilots in the base they want to be in and needs T and C's improve. Without that they will forever be a stepping stone airline. VA need to be aiming for QF pay, not JQ. It's the same fleet, same network, same operation. Why not the same pay and career progression?
