Letter from AIPA to Jet* Pilots

Got my letter from President Woods today. I reckon he's highlighted some very good reasons for the JPC to get together with AIPA ASAP!

The company only opened up the EBA early because of the looming pilot shortage and why would we want to lock ourselves in for 5 years

Labor is bringing in a new bill during Feb which will include a safety net provision of redundancy of 16 weeks! Our eba proposal only has 8

Collective agreements will be limited to a max of 4 years... again why the rush to lock in 5 years with our skills now so much in demand

If we vote this one up fellas we have a key component of our remuneration dependant on the sole discretion of Jet* management

Not happy Jan about that one!

WE NEED TO VOTE NO TO ROUND ONE and get AIPA in to make sure we cross all the T's and dot our I's. I also want some professionals looking after our interests when it comes time to fight against the ineviatable push by the company to use 457 visas to employ direct entry captains

Come on fellas... are you with me
