Qantas will never struggle to attract pilots. Even if Dixon “attacked” your conditions of service they will still be generous compared to Jetstar and virgin. Qantas has a lot of industrial baggage that will always ensure that pilots (engineers cabin crew) will enjoy premium pay and conditions, even if its by one dollar.
Comparing corporate accountants, high flying bankers and footy players with wage and salary earning pilots is pointless. Try again.
Change is inevitable but its not the end of the world. Don’t panic.
