Thru the roof? Really?
Perhaps there are 450 ish KA Pilots.
A third of them are local.
Of the remaining 300 or so.. over 60% are from countries other than Austrailia.
Out of those 120 left.. maybe half of them have more than 10 years service.
So.. 60 guys .. perhaps , likely less are NOT thru the roof.
Given as previously posted, we ALREADY allowed both the Freighter Captains & all the Ex-KA ground staff to keep their DOJ for staff travel when they transferred, you'd really wish to penalize the pilots?
You really do buy into this divide and conquer nonsense.
What should have happened at the merger/take over whatever, is everyone who was at KA received that date as their DOJ the CX system.
That still could be done & would seem in keeping with fairness for both.
The KA crews would still have 7 or so years of seniority, so any new hire hello kitty receptionist couldn't bump them, but have a
fair place against a CX guy with 8 years service to our brand.
That wasn't done and won't be so they can play us off each other. Buy a clue.
