Let me say this, if we had Airlines that were well run as a business and smart Pilot unions , ie both doing their job AS we do as Pilots day in day out, THEN what I am asking for above would be unlike what our VA CP just said “ mouth watering “ possible and fair.
Hopefully like most of us I want VA to make money and be profitable, I want our staff to enjoy their work , be proud of the company they work for and feel good / rewarded within themselves day to day at work.
There are many companies that do exactly this , Bain under J is not one of them hence just about everyone at VA is unhappy , disengaged and holds no respect for J. So is that good business.!.
Hell some businesses now have parental leave for dog owners in their EBA, good luck VA staff.
Oh not to mention that some Australian unions are bargaining for a 4 day week at the SAME pay. That’s 12 days off per roster, with no weekend work and all public holidays off, makes our rosters look like crap.
We are left behind now and the future looks even worse .
