Has anyone else heard the one about EK considering offering a substantial pay rise to hang onto and entice guys? Not saying that EK is the place to work, but?
So here, we have one airline able to offer a figure close to what you should reasonably expect for the job given sacrifices etc....over here, we have J*. A totally naive bunch of scragging, short sighted dimwits that voted in an EBA all because they saw a shiny new jet, and wanted to stick it up the rear end of AIPA pilots. RH and the JPC, talk about legends of the fall......40% less fella's, great negotiating skills boys...and hey, when the time comes and you have been to Honolulu three times and it starts to lose the appeal and you get sick of flying that trashy product across the Pacific during the night, have a big think, and ask yourselves, was it really worth it?
Oh, and apart from management wrangles at the moment, word is that the trans Tasman operation has lost over 3 million bucks since December....if true, what a stroke of genius it was from the JPC to roll over their EBA after 12 months of operation and take the bait from TJ...just to crew two measly A320's across the Tasman...this is what we are dealing with boys, real thinkers, real dynamo's that are just so capable of strong and ethical pilot career decisions.

EK PAYRISE ?
Possibly correct Pete,
Word from a colleague in EK, that they might be considering a 20, possibly 25% payrise to attract experienced crew for their planned expansion.

Boyscout,
Jealous-of what??
Annoyed- not at all the majority has spoken.
The attitude was simply trying to stop some from shooting thy feet, shouldn't bother should I, you seem to be enjoying yourself.

Good onya Pete conrad,
Still stirring the pot with your ethical dialogue.It may come as a surprise to you but I don't think anyone at Jetstar gives a flying f@rk about aipa pilots when it comes making decisions on which way to vote on eba's and I don't think many of us really want to roger anybody as you so eloquently described (not that there is anything wrong with that).
When you dribble on "this is what we are dealing with boys" who on earth are you addressing ? and what the hell are you dealing with ?
When we Jetstar pilots find out that the eba we voted in is crap and that our job flying to Honolulu is not quite what we expected, then we will have to deal with it and I'm sure it will be no skin off your nose.It must be terrible going through life believing that everybody is out to get you and everybody elses actions are just to spite you (PARANOIA).How about changing your user name as I would think that your supposed namesake would turn in his grave listening to the nastiness and hatred you spew.I wouldn't call dragging a name like that through the mud as ethical.
Get some help champ especially if you are operating at the pointy end.

As has been mentioned before, JetStar are going to struggle mightily to attract candidates at the levels of of pay they are offering..mayby the odd guy who doesn't need or want the going rate, but I still cant see many guys wanting to shift to a high tax, low income operation.
Ratpoison..its already happening, Ive even got a pleading offer letter in my hand that shows an improvement of around 20% from the previous one, all if I want to go and work in the desert.

mppgf - I think if you have a good read of what YOU wrote, not only is it a classic case of rapid fire crap spewing from a mouth, as you so eloquently put it, but you will find that you are the one who is eternally looking over your shoulder in paranoia champ. You may want to have a listen to yourself, you would be one of those guys that talks in a really high pitched voice too. Touch a raw nerve did it? Not hard to do with you guys, you have to live with the fruits of your labour now don't you?
Enjoy life looking over your shoulder buddy and for gods sake, loosen your jockstrap, britches or something man, you will do yourself an injury.

From mppgf:
Foolish, foolish comments my friend. You really don't understand, do you?
YOUR EBA has set a new low standard for pay and conditions for ALL airline pilots in this country. Not just YOU. ALL PILOTS! So, yes, Pete will have "skin off his nose", as will all of the rest of us.
I'm still amazed that NONE of you guys saw past your own tiny little world when you voted for this EBA. You not only crapped in your own nest, but in everyone else's too.
And your idiotic comments prove it.
