Ronnie is right.
A few years ago, there was expectation amongst J* pilots that their pay would be pulled up by the better conditions at
VB & QF. Now the stark reality is they are being taken for fools by management and their conditions will probably deteriorate.
I am noting a realisation amongst J*pilots, that they will have to stand up all by themselves.
But there is still the paradox of the biggest payrise and improvement of conditions a J* F/O will receive, is the transition to Captain- 40% pay increase and more professional satisfaction.
So, as long as there are F/O's at J* on 70K a year paying off a 30K endorsement, undercutting QF and others for flying will continue to be voracious! Can you blame them?
