At least mainline pilots are consistent over the last two decades. The root cause of gifting QF the JQ, JC, NJS, NWK pilot pay scales to the Australian pilot profession. Never opposed the opportunity to sign off on a short sighted, self indulgent 3% payrise or cash bonus token.
Now they are bewildered why their group is shrinking, and preaching to pilots over a situation that they themselves created for us all. Pathetic.
What bizarre and incoherent statement.
So is mainline shrinking because they spent 20 years taking “self indulgent” pay rises and bonuses or is it shrinking because they agreed to a 25% pay cut for new S/O’s?
And what exactly can an employee group do to stop their employer buying a competitor and turning it into a subsidiary?
Mainline pilots are the highest paid in the Oz airline industry, that is why Qantas is perpetually trying to diminish or circumvent their contract. They are certainly not at fault for the poor conditions in other carriers and they have no ability to improve them. That job falls to the pilots at those entities, and thankfully it looks like the Network pilots are trying to do just that.
