Hello Everyone,
I work for the offending (offensive?) airline.
I recently returned from a stint O/S after losing my job in Aus.
I have been flying with 200hr "foreign" pilots in a Modern Jet.
I came home because Australia is the place I want to be.
I am concerned with the CEO's plans.
I want to keep Australian jobs for Australians.
I implore all pilots from Flying school Grade 3's & CHTR guys/gal's to the airline C&Ter's (of all the airlines) and everyone in between to stand together on this one.
But most importantly, read A.Le Rhones post #70 of this thread. (I don't know how to do a link or quote.)
Then have a search of A320/B737/A330/B777 opportunities worldwide. Why would our "Foreign" friends take a job in Australia, or SIN for that matter, with an Australian entity (or offshore company) paying well below the going rate, in countries with high cost of living and no accommodation assistance?
There is more money being offered elsewhere. China anyone??
This is CEO spin.
Don't buy into it. Let's preserve our rights and conditions.
See you on the 23rd.
