Yes I know of pilots that would come home tomorrow for the right price.
If you know that, then that should be the line you run, your media should have been ALL about that, and that alone.
- There is no shortage.
- There are plenty of Aussies who want the jobs.
- The present package is obviously below industry standards.
- The Visas are being used to circumvent this problem.
In other words: Jetstar is employeeing foreigners to keep wages low whilst plenty of Aussies are now shut out.
They are the lines you should be running with, not the apologist Bulls%#t that is evident in your media and posts here.
I remain entirely suspicious that you are in bed with them on this one, your defence of it is a give away.
Well Said Speedy.
Personally I think building a house is too expensive in Aus now.
I suggest the Aus government import hundreds of thousands of cheap labour, in the same manner the middle east and asia have. This will lower wages of the building trade, electricians, cleaning, road working etc. This is what they are doing with avaition.
Why is it acceptable to import pilots in this manner, yet not other jobs.
I want to return to Aus. I have the experience for a wide bodied command, but its not worth working for the budget airlines of Aus
There is NO shortage of qualified and experienced pilots in Aus. Its simply not worth it for the Aussies to return home. So they import non Aussies.
IF Salaries and work conditions were acceptable there would be hundreds of experienced pilots returning to Aus. About time they paid an acceptable salary and stopped treating Airline pilots as labourers.
