A few corrections for you Crank1000

A Qlink Dash Fo gets average 55k base wage. Maybe another 8k in allowances per year. And you will get flogged! Max hours with every overnight minimum rest. QLink ARE in serious trouble with many flights cancelled and some even farmed to other operators.

Sunstate are about to go into EBA negotiations and from all accounts if the company arent going to wake up and give something other than the bull$**** 3% you will see the boys and girls go the way of the engineers with PIA and stop works.

All the pilots are absolutely fed up with the current draconian management of NK and his cronies. Sick leave is through the roof and so is the attrition. Sure they are trying to plug the arterial bleeding with hundreds of 200hr pilots but is this strategy a long term fix or a short term bonus padding option? 2 more years you have no pilots with command time to upgrade. They better hope the ICUS thing works for them.

Or so the TSV refueler tells me.
