Virgin applications
Anyone know if virgin are interviewing pilots who are currently bonded elsewhere?
Is the question on the application another means of short-listing potential applicants?

Repro,
Wow, you really showed em, didnt ya.
Did they crumble into a heap and meet your demands.
Or did you just miss out on the job.
Which begs the question, why did you apply for it if you were just going to play silly games?

Well with all the Captains leaving, the high (by real airline standards!) upgrade fail rate of 50%, the need to crew the new Jungle Jets (won't even start to ponder again the safety implications of a brand new Captain flying brand new type probably with a 300 hour brand new First Officer straight out of GA into some strips that wont be 3500m ILS equipped) as well as the EBA sweetner of VB crews being allowed across to international I reckon there's a very real probability of DEC's in the near future.
The shareholders and Mr Godfrey are not total idiots, at some stage the crap from Bull**** Castle as to why aircraft are not in the air earning money will be finally unacceptable and DEC's may be the only immediate fix possible.
I am happy to disagree with people but anyone who thinks there will be a deluge of applications from DEC pilots willing to crawl over broken glass to fly for VB for $170K Oz are delusional, further they have no idea of what's happening in the world of aviation and maybe should get out a bit more often. Taking some reality pills wouldn't hurt either!
Maybe when THEY rang HIM he just got his DEC "application and requirements" in early, I would further suggest that one of his 3 requirements may be negotiable.
Indeed with the delay of VB in responding I would not be surprised if his pay requirements have probably increased!!
Interesting times indeed!

Yes, Krusty 34 and Whiskery, there are some girls out there.
Galdian, as far as I'm aware, they still get $135,000 + $15,000 bonus.
So that's $150,000 Grose.
After tax, maybe about $90,000 in hand.
Might as well be a check out chick at Coles.
If they want pilots, they will have to pay the going rate.
Which is now up to $260,000, and climbing.
Pay peanuts and you get monkeys.

Careful Repro, he'll have another go!
Seriously though; My company has finally admitted that we now face the the most serious threat in our history. Hala bl@#dy luya.
Mind you, still no talk of any improvements to wages and conditions. They hang on don't they.
The reality is that time is almost up.
If they don't do something now, we're screwed!

Yeah Coles checkout chicks would be on about $33K plus overtime, might end up with $40K for a 45 odd hour week including weekends.
I agree pilots should be getting more but comparing airline pilot wages with Coles is going a bit far...GA no worries however!!
