The funny thing is, Pilot salaries won’t be the death of any Airline – it will be the Airline’s inability to stay flexible and respond to market forces, therefore remain competitive. They can’t do that with a staff shortage. Oh well.
If there is any truth the article and rumour then things are looking rosy for all of us. And there is hope! The DJ guys proved that when they threw out the sweat shop inspired EBA. That is what we need more of!!
I also think Qantas will be in the poo when they start recruiting again and realise that most of the people on the hold file have taken other jobs and not looked back. Even the borderline applicants who were turned away would think twice now before going through the selection process all over again.
I don’t think Tiger will be our saviour, but it will have to offer a better deal (for the crew) than
VB or J* currently do. This can only be a good thing.
