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?
Yes. Don’t forget the CEO is expected to cash in up to $70m on her exit. Wouldn’t have happened without the VA front line teams. Stand up for yourself FFS.
