Yes I have a thought jonny, how bout everyone stop chasing the shiny jet and selling our profession out to the lowest bidder!
These 'functionaries' that offer these term and conditions must know there will always be some sucker that will take it, and they must laugh.
When voz started up, a mate gets in, takes a job for $54k says it's all fine and he is happy for the pay cut, cause he is flying a jet. 6 months later is whinging and complaining about the pay and conditions and promotion chances.
Ask yourself - would you do that if it were nearly any other job? Plumber, mechanic, janitor???? Mates that are in the mining industry are absolutely astonished at what happens in our biz.
Management know the shiny jet syndrome is alive and well and we are the suckers that fall for it all the time.
We are our own worst enemy,and they know it.
