That is what pisses me, and the majority of REX pilots off!
G'day Krusty,
Thanks mate - more than enough said.
I've liaised with several cadets from previous intakes and also the upcoming May intake, and I find one thing common between most: Their intentions are to get in, get hours, and move on as quick as possible - they all admit the pay won't suffice to live (especially if Rex want them posted in SYD) and are prepared to break the financial 6 year bond for a better paying job. Whether this will be a common reality, who knows...
Sure, I agree if there was more industrial action that EBA ""negotiations"" might actually have a life by support of a union and hence pilot actions may have a dent in the next EBA; so I ask, with 54 cadets across the 4 intakes, if we could convince most of them to join a union, by the time they struggle their way up the seniority list, could we have some chance of 'pilot power'?
....hmm, didn't think that one through - how do we convince them to join?
