What Pay Increase
How could you consider $1000 a month across the board a payrise.
Pay increments stopped for 3 years.
APPROXIMTE loss per pilot (Not management pilots already on top increments)
Year 1 A Month $400 =a year $4800
Year 2 $800 = $9600
Year 3 $1000 = $12000
Total $26400
car allowance 3 years = $9360
Medical $1500
Total 3 years APPROXIMATE loss $37260
$1000 a month will not even bring the pay up to what pilots should have been getting before the unilateral pay cuts to everyones signed contracts.
Rumored $50 an Flying hour rate over 75 hours (more like $40 an hour duty time)
Normal airlines pay 4-5 times this.
Only pilots benefiting are those in management on top increments already who didnt expect any more, and are planning on staying until retirement anyway.
They wernt the ones working max hour longhauls. They had there 9-4 days in the office. They must be rubbing their little hands together. Best roster themselves a long SYD to celebrate.
They do think your stupid if you believe this a payrise, even more stupid if they think it will stop people leaving.
First Rishworth Capts approaching 3000Hr Cmd time, will be 4 reaching this every 4-6 months very soon, and this will continue. Jobs to go to now, will they be able to keep up with training replacements.
If they want to show any good will and keep people there, they need a pay increase to cover inflation since the last pay increase 15-20 years ago. much higher hourly rate over 75 hours, reinstate and packpay cut increments, Otherwise consider yourself a low cost training airline as the only pilots staying will be the management and then good luck to you.
