It's interesting how Buchanan remarked about the top salaries being paid in Australia and highlighted the "Good" deal being offered in Singapore. Both examples were for the highest salary on the flightdeck and with all possible allowances included.
He also remarked that these salaries are significantly higher than most "Blue Collar" wages in OZ! Show's you just what he thinks of his pilots, and an obvious appeal to the masses! First shot in the war against the "Silvertail" greedy pilots! Absent from his remarks of course was the proposed salaries for the low timers and Cadets!
Don't even go down the path of equitable salaries guys. Buchanan's remarks only highlight what I have already said. They will twist any campaign for equitable T&C's to suit their own ends, and deflect any attention from what will be the only thing that will ressurect our profession.
Keep non ATPL holders out of the flightdeck of Aussie RPT arcraft above 5700kg!
