Foreign Worker,
How do you think QF attracts just about every Australian pilot to apply to fly their aircraft?.....For the same reason most bankers wants to work at Macquarie Bank, or for the same reason most accountants want to work for one of the 'Big Firms', or for the same reason footy players chase the 'best contract'...
It is very simple - If QF Pilot Recruitment wish to retain the ability to pick and choose who they see fit (whether their selecton process is right or wrong)...they will need to continue to offer TOP DOLLAR...if they do not, their pool of eligible people will diminish...or they will be forced to drop their standard...I am sure I know what Qantas Premium Travellers would want!
However, 'benchmarking' your employees to the
CHEAPEST alternative is not a good way to show mutual
respect or build cohesion within your organisation.
