I agree with your sentiments
aircraft with the exception of one.
Surely you would also be aware of the excessive numbers of pilots available to fill vacant positions.
The flying schools throughout Oz are starting to hurt. Would be pilots are now scrutinising the rewards for such a huge investment for this career and many are turning to more lucrative professions. The supply of pilots is slowly running out.
The "economic reality of aviation" is you spend $120,000 + on attaining the qualificatons necessary to get a job that will get you experience to qualify for an "airline" position. When you meet these minimum requirements you are then required to spend a further $40,000 + (aircraft rating, airfares to interviews, medical, psych test, accomodation etc,. etc,.) and you are still not guaranteed a position. I know two pilots that are still trying to pass the psych test with Qantas and many who have missed out altogether.
When you finally gain employment your starting salary can be as low as $48,000.
Unity is one thing but, ultimately, it will be supply and demand that will determine pilots' wages and conditions in the future.
