Take a look at Network and the battles they are facing.
No, I am not management either.
What a load of rubbish, Australian airlines have always lagged behind on terms and conditions as Management have always used the fact that expats want to come home as proof that our contracts are great. Fact of the matter is though that Cathay, Emirates etc were not great places to be over covid and with Hong Kong now under Chinese rule and the shutting of satellite bases many pilots decided to ‘come home’. Don’t confuse that with pilots overseas being attracted home by great contracts, these expats will be complaining like the rest of us once they realise just how much the new Optimiser/FRMS combo sucks. The only solution is to take FTG and Sick days to maintain some form of control over your sleep and health.
