Jestar wants Asian wage deal: report
By a staff reporter, with AAP
Qantas Airways Ltd offshoot Jetstar will look to Asia to hire more pilots and support staff as it seeks to compete on price with its main Asian rivals, according to a report in the Australian Financial Review.
Jetstar chief executive Bruce Buchanan told the newspaper plans to forge partnerships in the Philippines, as well as other Asian markets, would not be feasible if it is forced to offer the same wage agreements as Qantas.
"The market share of Australian carriers has been declining for years because of the growth of the Middle Eastern, Chinese and other carriers, and they're not doing it on Australian wages or contracts," Mr Buchanan told the AFR.
Meanwhile, Qantas pilots on Friday moved a step closer to strike action, as 400 pilots met with representatives from the Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA) in Sydney to discuss a push for job security and pay increases.
The union is holding out on the threat of industrial action after negotiations with Qantas management over a new enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) for international pilots broke down on Wednesday.
AIPA is seeking guaranteed employment of its pilot members as well as an annual 2.5 per cent pay increase.
