Have heard from who I consider to be a reliable source 'inside' JQ that the current A330 LHS offer for a SIN base works out at approx $AU80k basic. IF this is true a whole new low has been set (although I believe most of the takers are ex AN-what a surprise!) Things are looking up for the QF EBA!!!
I am surprised. Most ex-Ansett pilots I know are on 300-400K and are active in protecting and improving COS packages.I have not seen the participation rates in doing this, from former employees of Australian low cost carriers. So I am surprised you can pigeon hole a group as being cellar dwellers...
You blokes are so far gone on pay and conditions, the only hope is your training departments upping the standards all round. Perhaps a former Ansett standard of sim at Jetstar would help. The stories I hear from Jetstar checkers and trainers are third world standard of capabilities. Which means, you are easily replaceable.
