Has anyone else heard the one about EK considering offering a substantial pay rise to hang onto and entice guys? Not saying that EK is the place to work, but?
So here, we have one airline able to offer a figure close to what you should reasonably expect for the job given sacrifices etc....over here, we have J*. A totally naive bunch of scragging, short sighted dimwits that voted in an EBA all because they saw a shiny new jet, and wanted to stick it up the rear end of AIPA pilots. RH and the JPC, talk about legends of the fall......40% less fella's, great negotiating skills boys...and hey, when the time comes and you have been to Honolulu three times and it starts to lose the appeal and you get sick of flying that trashy product across the Pacific during the night, have a big think, and ask yourselves, was it really worth it?
Oh, and apart from management wrangles at the moment, word is that the trans Tasman operation has lost over 3 million bucks since December....if true, what a stroke of genius it was from the JPC to roll over their EBA after 12 months of operation and take the bait from TJ...just to crew two measly A320's across the Tasman...this is what we are dealing with boys, real thinkers, real dynamo's that are just so capable of strong and ethical pilot career decisions.
