Why pilots on this forum are losing sleep about the terms and conditions being offered by this mob (Jet*) I don't know
Don't work for them - market forces will then drive up the T&C's! And at the same time lets not knock those that do accept the positions - with unemployment on the rise, airlines falling over in what seems like every second day, people have to keep food on the table and they are paying more than the dole!
good news is that NZALPA are on the case, and like a good fight!
A good fight - now there's a spirit of collaboration!! That always works
NZALPA are currently reacting to Jetconnect's closure of the Christchurch base, and the transfer of flying to Jetstar. The Employment Act regarding employee protection in the event of restructuring/transfer of business is clear - I am surprised that ALPA have left the challenge to the 9th hour. The ramifications could be quite interesting indeed...
