Merged: Joe Eakins: Brave?....or....

[Jabawocky]

Hold on guys....... stop for a minute.

This thread was about Joe Eakins and his article, which has subsequently been the cause of his sacking. Hence the BRAVE or what title?

I personally do not think the JQ wages for pilots is all that bad. I do think the fine print is a bit draconian, but it is what it is.

The fact of the matter is his articles were not about the current EBA's and his deal. It was about the future trend of the industry and how the recent actions of BB and AJ were in conflict with each other.

Basically Joe Eakins has been sacked for pointing out the irony of the senior management’s own public statements about company direction.

He did not go public with information which was "Commercial in Confidence". Big difference.

Maybe everyone on here needs to read the article again and see where this debate is getting off the rails.

Up, up and away, but not in Australia

J* have found out the hard way about setting up illegal shelf companies, and they have also found out the hard way with recruiting in NZ and had to pay hefty sums of cash to plug the holes. So they are getting the message albeit slowly.

This started out as someone speaking out about the future in Australian airlines and how JQ were going to try something clever and failed. In the end Eakins has been sacked for publically pointing out the contradiction made in public by management.
