Jetstar A330 deal
Rumour has it that the JPC is about to recommend that J* pilots accept around 165K or about 185/hr to fly the A330 until the 787 arrives.
I find it difficult to believe that such an offer would be accepted by the rank and file on a number of levels.
Firstly, it is about 2/3 of what QF pays pilots to fly the same aeroplanes.
Secondly, the 787 will be a 250 seater; What sort of rate are the JPC going to negotiate for that when it has accepted pretty much a A320 rate to fly an A330? 120k... 717 rates?
Have some ballz guys. You accept this offer and you screw the OZ airline scene for decades to come. It is not just about you.
