You guys in the top end now have the opportunity to set things right regarding wages and conditions. For years now I've heard pilots moan in this forum and others. Seize The Day!
1. The award is now in effect throughout the NT as of 24th March.
2. Every EMPLOYER whether they have received notification or not is now bound to comply or face legal action. You cannot be sacked for asking for what is rightfully yours.
3. There is now the chance of a level playing field, where every GA pilot is paid the appropriate amount. It is now illegal to prostitute yourself for lower wages.
4. You now have the law behind you, you have to be assertive to get the ball rolling, the same sort of assertiveness that is required if you ever want to fly heavy metal.
5. Join the AFAP.
