Good post Komac;
Sad that you are starting to see the real Rex; Minimum support, cheap options and where managment hide and make rules that they dont see the effects of and the frustration of real life at the coal face.... and not just pilot issues. Its simple, they dont care, so neither should you.
Get your experience and get out, but in the mean time you are doing the right thing, be the best FO you can be, learn and support the EBA. Also, be applying for all the jobs you can think of.
LKH posted in the Friday Files a typical "warm snuggly message" to all things called EBA and tried once again to sound like a reasonable person. He uses the standard formula. Nice guy approach coupled with some obscure facts and figures that show the detrimental position the entire globe and economy is in..... and then uses this fear to suggest that WE all must PULL TOGETHER TO SURVIVE, like a family, you know and then offers some substandard EBA proposal!
Its no family LKH, the a man who spends over $100k to hire a QC to appeal the re-hiring of T.Richards only for it to be thrownout! Oh sorry that was Rex's money, and a fine waste that was; Oh sorry its the billionaire who tells us that its sooooo tough out there!
Comparing International carriers in foreign markets was also the same example he used in the last EBA scare tactic propganda! Then wow, rex produces a nice profit in the financial crisis! No profit share for you!
Its creative manipulation of numbers to make you give in to management proposals for this EBA.
Get stuffed LKH, its easy to see through your crap, and its just that, playing with peoples lives like it dont matter, hey, your "yes" men at the top forgo their pay rise, haha, what about the shares and tax-free dividends?? Thats the dirty little secret you dont want out, is that its not about wage soley, their large wage determines share allocation and then tax-free div's! Yawn, so predictable.
Yeah I agree, some of them do earn their money, but its certainly not ETHICAL! And thats why you have and always will have a high attrition rate!
All I can say is if you fall for it then your a goose with your head in a noose!
Its simple, other operators are taking turboprop guys and paying MUCH better, so time to step up LKH.
