Talking to one of their konky drivers the other day. They mostly use them to take care of all the adhoc stuff. Sounded like a pretty good gig as far as single pilot stuff goes - apart from the fact it's with SA

Cont 520,
Over a beer heard apparently more to Skywest and Virgin, who remains from your:
SJ, TA, AL, AS, CC, SL, SM.
10-15K in the pay packet has worked for other organisations in this predicament.

Conti might be too busy studying "supersonic aerodynamics" to answer that.
LRT, I thought the Wiz would have been too old to have grandparents to give away.

Apparently Network have just given their Pilots an unprompted significant pay rise.
Maroomba/NJS apparently already pay better SA, and these companies are not having the same staffing problems, it just defies logic

I’ve heard the same info about Network, I wonder how long it will take for Skippers to come to the party? The last thing they need is for people to defect to network for more cash!

Sorry Mick. I would have love to have verified it and told you that we were now paid the same as senior QF 744 drivers. Alas....
On another note, apparently they are offering some rather lucrative numbers to people who have other jobs to go to in order to get them to stay. Around a 50% rise. But they are taking the lesser paying jobs because of the better working environment with other operators.
Why does it have to be this way?? The reactiveness of this industry astounds me when a bit of forward thinking would cost less and make companies so much better in the mid term run. Over the long run the companies would recoup their money 20 fold... Sorry, drifted off into la-la land there at the end.

piston broke again:
There is no way this can be true. These companies just do not make this kind of money.
When are you guys going to wake up to the true nature of your own industry?
Word is on the street theres a new AWA doing the rounds - 75K for Metro drivers, 95K for Bras. Not before time.
