Have heard some interesting figures recently for ya...
Approx 40 pilots have left VirginBlue this year alone.
They are gearing up for 12 pilots per month for whenever.
94 flights cancelled in Feb due crew shortage.
Announcment about not paying for endorsment scheduled for July, expect serious bond and training wage.
Some Rex pilots interested but only if endorsement fee dropped.
Rex management think that the annual bonus will appease pilots but really its gets taxed to bu&&ery so no real help. Conditions are the way to go if they want to retain. Think min-rest-overnights, bidding etc
