"Can anyone tell me WHY Silk Air offered the ex-AN A320 people only local contracts"
Why. Because they could. What do QF, MI, SQ, UA, BA, DL.......the list goes on - have in common. They all offer pilots employment on different pay scales.
BTW Kaptin, why are you so fussed about the pay scales at MI. Are you suggesting pilots should continue in unemployment until a job offer comes along with a big "approved by Kaptin M" stamped on it. How do you explain JR running
VB on less than half the salary you and your compatriots went on strike over.
