Low cost airline models, J star and V blue. Folks paying for their own endorsements and TRG. Scroll forward to five yrs from now and lets look through the "round window" when all the low cost model aircrew have commands on new shiny jets, new folks entering the industry will have accepted the remuneration aspects of the day and surprise surprise QF aircrew will be paid approx 30% less.
As for folks that talk about standing and your digs, bandying together, becomming industrially organised, joining unions-Please!!!! Folks will still need to pay their bills, mortgages, kids school fees and eat. Hence folks will either leave the industry or work for less. There will be no shortage of kids wanting to punt a light twin around for $100k. Better get used to it, lower $$$$$ remuneration contracts are the way of the future for airlines employees as the companies attempt to exist and survive under rising fuel and aviation costs.
Glad to be away from the noise!
