Hope the same thing that happened at QF when AJ got the top job, happens at
VB, the Village gets its floors swept of the inept and childish parasites. I bet there are some very sombre and S%^T scared people hiding under the colourful and ergonomic office furniture using the company paper to update their CV's for their old job at Macca's and the Coffee Club.
I am not an overly optimistic person by nature, and the pilot at
VB will not see many benefits from this new management except maybe greater job security!
Why would JB want to change any agreement he has with a group of pilots that give him a team that has an EBA which provides great flexibility at mid range salaries if not poor conditions like VA. He would have laughed and rubbed his hands when he discovered that an entire combined yearly salary of a flight deck to LA is paid the equivalent of a single QF Jumbo Skipper!!!!!
Probably the only thing we may see change is a better IT system, and after he has tried to use the
VB staff travel system, an updated, truly online based and user friendly website may be implemented. After having used QF's staff travel system, JB will spin out!!!!!!
VB will most likely benefit form the Business market as his knowledge and contacts with the Mahogany set will surely be used.
On the surface QF did not seem to kick up a real fight to keep JB, is this a Trojan Horse that has just been wheeled into the Village compound? Time will tell! A few of the boy's have seen GD paxing on few flights with
VB in recent times, is this all too coincidental?
But then again, the mail boy come good has been kicked out of home and "Hell hath no fury, like a executive scorned."
