Paying for a pre-employent endorsement for the likes of Jetstar and Virgin is bad enough. Paying to fly for Qlink is just ridiculous.
We need to get tough on this and start a concerted co-ordinated action.
If every pilot writes to Qlink and withdraws their application this will quickly bring things to a head. Who do they think they will employ. Do you really think pilots from overseas will re-locate to Australia to fly for Qlink and be paid FO wages on our tax schedules.
The same goes for Virgin and Jetstar. Just withdraw your application. Just say NO. Once the airlines realise that they cannot get people to fly for them, that pilots from O/S either won't come or even if some pilots do come from will leave once a job opens in the own country. This pox on the oz avaition scene will dissappear.
