Well the last week has been interesting to say the least.
It would appear the level the Impulse pilot body is prepared to stoop to literally knows no bounds.
The A340-500 purchase has been recommended to the board by all the relevant departments of QF. As part of these considerations, the aircraft will be operated by the Impulse pilot group on roughly 50% of what current 747 classic pilots are paid.
This offer was made to Qantas via Oldmeadow consulting. I understand that a dinner was held during the week at a CBD restaraunt between Oldmeadow and senior members of the IPG to thrash out in principle agreements.
All this going on whilst the IPG is in the AIPA office at Mascot working towards 'a joint position' (from the AIPA friday update) to take to QF over Jetstar.
And for those of you that doubt the quality of this information, or who continue to stick your heads in the sand consider the fact that there is no guarantee, anywhere in the applicable short haul of long haul awards that guarantee mainline pilots will fly a new type.
I am astonished that the Impulse pilots have escaped serious centure, both on this forum and on Qrewroom.
They are a disgrace.
