I wouldn`t accuse anyone of corruption. Just heavily discounted rates! Like a Citation to Elcho Island for the cost of a Cheiftan! Talk about undercutting the opposition.
More than highlights the concerns of other operators not being on a level playing field.
I take it that no one has been sacked yet?
So it will be interesting to see if he employs any new pilots under the contract system. Moe interesting to see how much flying they get. Even more interesting to see how the current group of pilots react when and if it does happen.
If someone is willing to work for those conditions they must have someone financially supporting thier cost of living. For instance well off parents. For someone to be that well off they probably own their own business or know alot about finance and probably employee entitlements. And know full well that if their little boy/girl takes this underpayin job to get a start in the industry, that when they move on to a bigger and better job, big Daddy will be able to reclaim his financial support through legal action and the employer wouldn`t have any recourse. Contract singed or not. Problem is, NAC wouldn`t be the employer, therefore would get away with it!!
