I’ve been a pretty vocal critic of Network pilots accepting crap deals for years.
I am now prepared to swallow my pride and say that this time - they’ve absolutely proven me wrong. Congratulations to you all.
What a crystal clear message you’ve sent to Qantas IR. This level of unity within different pilot groups has rarely been realised in Australia until now.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, QF’s strategy of playing pilot groups off against each other (“if you don’t agree to this deal then we’ll give the new jets to someone else”) - is now officially dead in the water.
Network pilots have stood up and are demanding to be recognised as the group of professional and talented pilots they are.
NJS guys and girls - take note. Australian pilots are standing together.
I Need Of A Change … you’d better head back to the drawing board. No KPIs for you.
