Jayrow Tourers

It was my understanding that Jayrow only had a couple of tourers. No-one regularly tours to Tooradin as I understand it, so I think you might be out of luck to tour from the west pohm.

It's Russian Roulette trying to push the pilots' resolve on an EBA issue when they are majority AFAP members and united nationwide to stick together.

Jayrow management - why don't you just come to the table and deal, avoid any animosity, and talk to your clients now for the increased wages bill. It's not a "tail between the legs" thing, it is the commercial reality of the market. You must see that guys will just go to CHC or Bristow to do the same type of work if you don't - leaving you ending up defaulting on contracts and losing them, or facing an HR crisis and massive re-training costs. It's not a malicious thing on behalf of the pilot body, merely market forces on pay and conditions.
