I'm not having a go at you guys in Jet*, your welcome to it but just remember if you accept this package then you really are undervaluing yourselves. Even with an extra 5-6% on top of what is on offer, you would still be cheap for any airline flying that type of aircraft.
I can't agree with Chimbu with regards contract pilots from Rishworth and Parks etc. There are heaps of contract jobs out there and a lot of them pay very well indeed, the Japs make most QF captains wages look cheap! So I don't see that Jet* International being crewed by contract pilots, perhaps a few but not enough to run the airline.
And BTW, can you blame some of the QF guys for being upset (and yes I am with QF). It is just like when most of us were in GA and some company started up paying less than yours, you knew that things were going to get harder.
The Professor may have his opinions but to me he just sounds like some management stooge.
