And Oldmeadow and Dixon will wish they had never started that fight.
Let's see.
300 Jetstar Pilots and 2500 Mainline Pilots.
2500 Mainline pissed off Pilots will not be a good thing for Qantas. The damage will be enormous. It is about time the lies of Oldmeadow are revealed and the Jetstar blokes who have been negotiating today (27/1/06) realise they are setting the benchmark for the future.
Oldmeadow has you on toast, 70% of $70k for a "Cruise F/O". You have got to be kidding. RH, AP, BA, BC and JH. You owe it to the profession to not do the deal you are being sold by Qantas. It is **** and you will live to regret it.
Just like the dual base scenario, crew meals, duty extensions etc. There are those who have walked before you who have seen it all. Don't make this a job that needs a second income to survive. I urge you to not go it alone. You don't have to secure lowly paid International jobs to secure your futures. Your futures are secure. Make sure it is a future you can stomach and one you can hope to retire from a some stage and have a retirement income.
