Quick let's join AIPA, we're getting screwed. It's funny how the screwer becomes the "screwee"! Or what goes around comes around!
This is why it should be pointed out to those considering accepting j* Sin contracts, that they are screwing their own future and if they cannot crew this 'sham' base with Aussie crews, they should not be allowed to employ foreigners (unless it is a Sin based company with Sin AOC and no rights to operate any domestic legs within Aus).
With no award in Sin, those accepting this contract will likely be screwed in the future when j* Sin introduce a 'B' scale contract lowering their own pay at contract renewal.
Im sure they will get little sympathy.
