VA is becoming Australia’s Ryan Air (from a flight crew perspective). People are turning up to get some quick jet time or to get current then move onto a place that treats them with respect and pays them an appropriate wage. Pretty sad state of affairs for what is the second biggest airline in the country.
It’s even sadder hearing young pilots who have never flow a jet before saying that VA isn’t on their radar to apply for as there is no career progression and they pay the lowest. It’s a pretty big fall from once being the employer of choice
