Hi Guys
It seems that Southern guys are doing both AY and CH today through the stop work.
Bit of a pity as at the end of the day we are now also battling for their future pay and conditions as well.
As for Mr Wright.You will find the pay increase Eastern took was an intial 1% to over the arrival of the first 2 300's only.
We now have another 3 and as per the previous EBA a further rise was to be negotiated.In the case negotiation is a one way street NO,No or No.So much for negotiation.
Two can play that game!!
From some of the comments on this forum you can clearly see why pilots in Australia are some of the lowest paid in the world on a cost of living basis when compared to Europe and the US and will continue to be so while these attitude's persist.
People who are not prepared to stand up for what they are worth have ruined this industry all in aid of the mighty flying hour. They also seem to have forgotten.
It is just another type of JOB! You must get what is best for you and your family while you can as we are all just expendable units these days.
Get what you can while you can as you never now when the music will stop.
