53 Percenters...Did you jump too soon?
Lots of chatter on the grapevine...
1) New QF Shorthaul offer apparenly "much" better than that previously rejected, to the point where it can almost be regarded as "a decent package given the circumstances".
2) Jetstar EBA negotiations opened early at the instigation of Management with a view to deploying defensive countermeasures against pilot poachers. First offer would have JQ pilots earning "significantly" more than their Virgin counterparts. Negotiations continue...
3) Tiger trainees in Singapore advised of immediate contract renegotiation to ensure sufficient crew attracted and retained to facilitate business plan. Rumour of $245,000 package sufficiently strong to embolden AIPA to explicitly quote figure in AIPA Insights.
Given the above, 53% of Virgin pilots might be saying "what was I thinking", while the other 47% must be saying "what in $@#* were they thinking?!?!?!?!
