Come the inevitable world wide economic downturn where would I rather be?
JetStar? Just had 2nd B'day
Section 35 REDUNDANCY
2-3 yrs service=6weeks severence pay.
Virgin?
Section 27 Stand Down
Legalese gobblygook which means see JetStar only worse.
Qantas?
Sections 12/15/16
Costs the company lots to furlough/ downsize the pilots ranks.
It would appear to me Airline Managements collectivly around the world will be asking "Where did they all go" (the pilots that is)
Who the "Effing hell in their right mind is going to pay a fortune to get a job that is heading towards crap pay ,crap conditions,minimal training,
treated like a leper, no job security, etc, etc.
Is it just me, or is this the beginning of the end?
