Things must be miserable if
VB pilots are giving up their LHS and Australian lifestyle and going to Emirates.
Why not tighten the screws? Run a limited industrial campaign along the lines of work to rule. It would be hard on the money that
VB drivers get to knock back a $1000 bonus to work, but it could provide some significant gain in the future. What about sick leave?
And don't forget, nobody who could be quickly qualified in any numbers, wants your job. It's a crap job. Why else would a heap of you be interviewing for jobs with the Arabs?
