As I posted in the NAA thread, we are hundreds of thousands short of where we should be based on the amount pilots were paid in the late 80’s and adjusted for inflation. I wouldn’t consider the war to be over until Captains are on well North of $500,000 with lifestyle protections enshrined in the agreement. Plus a ‘thank you for sticking with us’ bonus similar to that which we’ve seen from overseas operators, something like 9 months pay.
Not sure if you are referring to me as being a troll. I may sound like a troll with my Absurd rhetoric. But I am no troll, everything I have mentioned is what I believe. It may sound insane the figures I put out there. But we live in absurd times where the political and corporate elite think it is reasonable to erode all of our living standards while they continually get larger and larger salaries and tax breaks. I am a pro capitalist but what is unfolding is not capitalism. I am no troll, absurd times require absurd responses. We are all in this situation, because no one has the balls beside a select few like myself who stick our necks out. And if things don't change for the better, you will all know who I am within the next decade when 2 airline pilots decide to start a political party. With current inflation and housing costs, 950k to 1m for a 737 capt is not unreasonable for a pilot living in Sydney. What is unreasonable is what the political and corporate elite have unleashed on the middle class and the poor. I will not be standing for it much longer and neither should anyone else. I am no troll.
