The rush, flying toothpick, is that in civil aviation the music can stop very suddenly, and the chair that you thought you had to sit on elsewhere has someone else on it and your chair is missing. Also, every day that you prevaricate you are losing money because everyone else pays better, and you are losing seniority in the new outfit, which could be important in the choice for upgrading/new types/redundancy et al. The opportunities for 767 rated, or 777 zero hours pilots will dry up before the jobs for those with more popular types/experience. Sitting on your backside being paid for doing nothing for a year or so may be superficially attractive, but is hardly likely to further your career in the long term, if that worries you. In times past the scrabble for jobs has been very unseemly, many of my colleagues have suffered through it, it is not pleasant, don't wait too long, you might regret it.
With US40bn missing from the Brunei economy, large scale investment in a money pit like RBA is unlikely, nothing will change/improve, conditions will just deteriorate. Don't say that it has come as a surprise will you? Good luck with your future, wherever it is.

exrba, another nail hit firmly on the head, well said.
RBA is one of the few Airlines that does not have a seniority list as such, sort of looks at date of joining, if at the time it doesn't upset the plan usually already made. ie whos on the next Command or Training Capt's Course
I know of many colleagues who have missed out, sometimes by just a day.
If you are going to jump ship, sooner the better.

Gentlemen....not only SYD!
4 destinations rumoured to cease!
LHR staff worried about services continuing!
Leave the Fleet Manager alone...it is out of his control....as is RBA and its future!
Move on if one is insecure otherwise stay put and enjoy the "Venice of the East".

Well RBA is making accelerated headway on the path to self-destruction. The airline industry at this point in time is in the midst of the most competitive and non-protective environment that has existed to date. Those airlines that will survive are those that can be most adaptive and resourceful. RBA is at a disadvantage on both fronts, it has a board that is incapable of making a decision and a CEO that wants to follow in his predecessor’s foot steeps making empty promises and featherbedding his own nest. The pay rises will be the same as the school fee increases, coming next month. Which month? Improved conditions with the arrival of the 777, only have been arriving now for nearly three years. Most have given up on the 777. CD and NM still trying to convince all they are arriving. These pair of delusional clowns is evidence if you stay long enough you become totally brain dead. As I have said before there is some wonderful talent within the airline it is now time to move on and reignite your careers. The time is rapidly approaching for the removal of RBA’s life support system.

As Static in the Attic says in another thread, "if RBA has their wits about them"
Got to be the quote of the century, that one!!
Another comedian talks about "the Venice of the East"
Ye Gods, Kampong Ayer!!!!
Things must be worse than I thought possible!
Keep taking the tablets from CD & NM guys.

You make me laugh!
Thanks "xRBA" you are the only one that appreciates the humour in this place.
I cannot help but think that something big (not necessarily positive!) is about to happen at RBA.
Those that remember are saying that RBA has "NEVER" been this bad....and yes its history is certainly jaded to say the least!
So what does one do......MOVE ON or sit around reading pprune and pass off all the moaning as self indulgent rhetoric that really does not address the situation in a company that has become the laughing stock of aviation? (and probably never will!)

A 30%-40% hike in basic pay! Wow! That will come from the extra profit generated by closing down unprofitable routes and switching to profitable ones. The impressive advertisements shown on worldwide television will bring in the punters in droves. Emirates must be sh*tting themselves, no wonder they are scouting in The Empire to check out the opposition.

Surabaya will stay, but have heard that they are looking to start the FRA again, am told that was one of the only money spinners.
Ah, Day OFF tomorrow, 4 S's good luck mate - see you there.
