Why would any Jetstar pilot ever consider the views of AIPA members?
Let us review the recent history of AIPA pilots:
They never sought a scope clause when Qantas acquired Impulse.
Their chief negotiators have been rewarded with management jobs in Qantas.
They can only achieve salary increases of 1% or less per annum.
They were not respected enough to even be considered when Jetstar was started.
Not long after, they voted yes to a useless exclusive MOU agreement.
They agreed to lower their salary level by 40% overnight (any future promotions).
They agreed to be effectively excluded from future Qantas expansion.
They vote for trade offs on conditions of their own members for personal gain.
In comparison, we will all have A320 Captain positions within a year, 40% salary increases, better salaries than mainline pilots for number of years in Qantas, A330/B787 opportunities, Airbus type ratings with PIC hours on our CVs.
