Ok CC I'll bite. If you are wondering what has got the pilot group up in arms then try this:
- no holidays available for school holidays Christmas or Easter
- no base security for wide body or narrow body. If they view that their financial interest is better served by moving a wide-body from Sydney to Cairns stuff the effect that it has on the individual
- No transparency on payslips for allowances or overtime
- Basing VH aircraft in Singapore and paying less than the EBA while at the same time stating that they will be setting up a shelf company to employ other Jetstar Group pilots in Australia.
- Workplace bullying by sending out emails stating that they have dismissed fulltime employees before they have even told the individual.
BTW unless you are stealing flying from your fellow pilots not too many jetstar line pilots are pulling in 270-290k.
