You’re in the midst of a fever dream if you think this has any relevance to the disparate entities that make up pilot groups.
Subsidiary pilots are all employed by different companies, fly different equipment and don’t sit next to mainline pilots, or get out of the seat at the end of a sector so a mainline pilot can fly that same aircraft.
Jetconnect does, but they’re based in NZ and covered under NZ law so aren’t affected by this.
Don’t think for one second that Network, NJS and Alliance are going to get a payrise out of same
job, same pay, or that the lost flying is coming flooding back to mainline.
Cabin crew do exactly the same job the same equipment at the same time. The company has had long enough to digest the legislation, realised they were screwed and have simply rolled over. There is no magnanimity in this on their part - they were just screwed.
The company now has to make up the lost $$ from elsewhere - so watch the screws continue to tighten on other employee groups.
(Second officers on the B-scale may be an exception to what I wrote above - depends if anyone wants to push that).
