Jetstar Sign New EBA ?

Heard via the grapevine that the Jetstar pilots have signed a new EBA with reasonable increases to salary.

Anyone care to elaborate ?

If correct, then this should give the VB negotiators something to aim for OR exceed.

So Jetstar Captains on $160k + as basic now hey ? When does this commence ?

Speaking of things J*, I spoke to a S/O the other day with previous heavy command experience who had managed to get a J* guernsey under the MoU only to not be released from QF due to lack of S/Os on the fleet. J* told him that he was more than welcome to join them but the only way that he could go was to resign from QF as QF wouldn't release him.

He told them 'no' but what good is a MoU if those that want to make do it can't even use it!

who had managed to get a J* guernsey
The story I hear in J*A is they all share their guernseys not enough to go round when you get off your flight you hand your jacket to the next crew.

I hope they keep their socks and undies.

ROFLMAO!! Now that IS a good one fartsock! DId you hear that one or are you just trying to start it? (Or have you heard something I haven't! )

No, my long stated aim is F/O B744 or 767 Command. The way the numbers look likely to fall (depending on what happens in March/April/May with respect to new aircraft types), F/O 744 is the most likely result!

(Sorry for the diversion folks! )

Jesus H Christ Bandit !!

I wouldnt be fit to check my own boobla most days let alone train or check other pilots.

Anyhow, my info is the training staff at JQ are doing a great job under occasionally difficult conditions.

Good luck with your -400 slot Keg.

Jet* monkeys on 9% more than DJ! Yeah right. someone's been into the red wine again. also no 15K in July, which the DJ boys still get working about 60 hours /month. J* working over 100 on their dispensation with over time still get less than DJ. Joke!
The tossers even took the same pay on the A320 as the DC9. Not sure whats worse the kiwis or J*

If you are placing Virgin Blue pilots on some kind of wage & conditions pedestal it is time for me to buy a milk bar!

I take great offence at being refered to as a monkey. I and my colleagues who have recently joined Jet* have 10,000+ hours, many thousands on the A320, and many more on other jets. If we are monkies, what are QF and DJ recruiting?
Who the hell are you to tell me what I should accept as a reasonable pay? You know NOTHING of my personal circumstances.
Many of the guys have come back from overseas jobs to be with their families again; is that a crime or must they wait until a job comes up that has pay and conditions that meet with your approval?

Jet* pay peanuts. Monkeys are attracted to peanuts! Et al!!!

I didn’t remember telling to accept anything??? Do as you will, just the kiwi’s do; working for nothing.
Don’t give me the expat excuse either. I have done years OS myself. It puts you in a finical position to come back to OZ and accept “pocket money” and in turn drive wages down locally conditions for those whom have no choice but to accept them.

REM a bit of justifying going on for your little cause.
10000+ hrs flying around OZ WOW!!!.
I bet you are in this downward spiral because of your actions so many years ago.
Big wheel baby, yeah!!!!
Enjoy the pocket money you monkey.

Why shouldn't someone like REM come home and undercut Virgin pilots? He may have been undercut himself a few years ago when flying for Ansett.

As a great antagoniser of strained Antipodean relations, I must give credit where credit is due, Kiwi pilots ( and Phillipinoes for that matter ) are not in the same league as Australians - the true cellar dwellars of professional piloting conditions worldwide.
