This strike issue is nothing to do with pay. If the union and management can resolve this, it may avert a strike now however when it comes to pay talks unless there is a significant change in remuneration I suspect a strike maybe back on the cards !
VAA is looking at significant recruitment of pilots and when you look at what’s on offer there in terms of lifestyle ie trip, 2 days off, repeat x6 a month , I wonder who they’ll get volunteering for that fatiguing a lifestyle.
