Im amazed at the judgement some people make without knowing all the facts..
Well it was a fact that Virgin Blue pilots undercut incumbant airline pilots in Oz by around 40%. It was beers and cheers at the Hamo for a few years- quick commands and stick it up the Ansett scabs and the Qantas skygods.
And now, on this thread, they are sreaming blue murder that highly qualified 777 drivers may come home and take "their" jobs.
Instead of hanging #@it on your fellow colleagues support them.
They aren't my colleagues. I have never had a colleague pay for their training and undercut me by 40%.
But good luck to them improving their lot.
I hear the 86 % of
VB pilots are really standing there ground
Big deal. They voted down an EBA.
Round two will have their predictable pilot psyche manipulated by a management that holds them in disdain. But understands their simple needs- shiny new 777's to uphold their professional ego, perceptions of professional worth & standing, all for little ( if any ) extra remuneration and conditions of service.
I'll put a bottle of port on it. As stated earlier.
