Why is anyone suprised ?.
Multi Millionaires generally do not have a whole pay roll sitting in the bank, one fortnight pay would be what 400K, no one has that money sitting in the bank.
If there is a cash flow problem, historically speaking pays are late due to a huge array of lame excuses, did the pay lady have another baby per chance ?(better the pays go in late than allowing the Westpac to reposses a Dash8).
Considering this whole topic (the last 427 posts and 80,000 odd views) suggests the company is drastically short of flight crew, aircraft utilisation could be low right, what if so low the ingoings are less that the outgoings ?, many made men have been un-made by this simple math.
Women and children first.

I just happen to be talking to a mate the other day who works for this mob (not a Pilot) and he reckons that Braz FO’s are on a higher pay scale than Dash FO’s and Metro FO’s are still well and truly on the centerlink pay scale! What the hell is with that? And no one is really sure what the captains are on, line, supervisory, check it doesn’t seem to make any difference these days. Is this business being running by professionals or just a bunch of try hard yes men and women!!!!!!
It’s time that SQ woke up and smelt the burnt jet fuel, or soon to be lack off, because this next mass exodus may be the last that this little privately owned company can handle!
NO PILOTS = NO COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
