We pilots are not "fine". AIPA negotiated in good faith a range of efficiencies to secure the AO flying including REDUCING mainline FO wages pegged to 7th year. (out of a 12 year scale). We came to Cairns full of high hopes and are just as committed here with kids in school and morgtages to pay....
Ahh Australia, the land where we cut down the tall poppies and delight in playing the politics of envy. I've just returned from a trip and witnessed the delight of our AO cabin crew revelling in their new found status as the "benchmark" for cabin crew T & C's in Australia... well wake up girlfriend.... who's to say some other worker like Jitconnect on 20 odd thousand won't be the next "benchmark" in a few years time....
