"anyone employed in mainline Australian aviation is on a pretty good wicket"
Well they won't be employed after being made redundant.
You think $250K is outrageous Ballsout - more like $25K?
Well, current 744 Captains being paid for up to 8 months during training, yep - that is how long some of them are taking! Add that to your $25K endorsement and it will be more than $250K!
Parabellum,
No breach of existing agreements - my example is 23 years old, NSW law changed so no discrimination on age NOW, not so when ALL of these guys joined.
My point is that you posted that 65 was what guys signed up for before dropping to 60, now back to 65. Well not in this case, I personally signed up to 55 and so did everyone who joined before me. Times have changed and now younger crews have to continue to 60 to get their super without tax, the over 60s can do that now!
You can go on forever domestically now but don't spruke that that is what anybody "signed up for".
