NJS Pilots - 97% vote for Protected Industrial Action
I know of several guys who have come back in from the airlines (such as Ansett) and would be overpaid if their salary was $2
No surprises they returned to where they spawned. In a free market, post 9-11 aviation world.

The economic theories you espouse were widely held by a group of powerful people in Australia.
The Australian people just gave them a huge vote of no confidence.

Start Sliding !
Hey Five Dogs,
Even your little mate would surely have better filing than having 3 month old AWA's sitting on his desk.
........however, a snake like you could probably slide under the door to the pay office to look in all the personnel files I guess.
while your at it.......why not have a peek at your own file & let us know how much you get paid for doing
all !!!

Ah... its great to see a bunch off Pissed off Pilots backed into a corner with no room left to maneuver. Even the most sedate dog will eventually bite your leg off when poked with a sharp stick enough times 
4 QANTASLINK B717's Parked against the fence on Sunday 2nd Dec due to NJS Pilots having no "Incentive" to go to work. I bet QANTAS were really happy to ask NJS CEO P. Nottage what the fuc was going on ????
I'm sure the fines QANTAS imposed on NJS would have made up a few B Scale Pilots pay balances for the rest of the year too!!!!
B Scale Pilots most probably were far to busy polishing up their CV's and Logbooks at home looking for far greener pastures free of NJS management Bull****, especially now most have had their wonderful AWA's rejected due to failing the Fairness Test.
Hah... Who needs Protected Industrial Action when most NJS Pilots are continually suffering from symptoms of the "Blue Flu" and have to take time off to ensure they operate their aircraft in a safe and non-efficient manner.
Top job fellas. Top Job. Now thats standing together!!

Sundays in Perth always resembles an aircraft parking lot.
If they were serious, they would park them during the week early in the mornings.
Was just checking the afap website page for jobs and saw SA DHC8 pilots getting 100k & 60K base wages respectively. If the company can up those wages that much you boys and girls should be able to reach equal base wages with J* and VB.

A great advert for NJS in the Australian newspaper today. I must apply to these guys.
Mr Nottage you must be a very proud man. Well done, Conrad, Geoff & Rodney will welcome you with open arms to their clan.

Its funny looking in on NJS from the outside, I have a few good mates in there and have meet a few guys i cant stand from there.
why is it that when ever the majority are working on something a number of individuals always ruin it for the rest of you.
Have fun boys and girls. Just remember that the more you guys bend to try and get that little bit extra in your own pocket instead of standing up for the majority you are actually stuffing yourselves over. I love watching in from the outside.
Keep up the entertaining work guys. it certainly gives our crews plenty of things to chat about on flights.
the other thing that always surprises us is we hear how close you get to actually doing good and the next thing you all buckle and get nothing of any worth. grow a back bone boys and girls and stand up for yourselves, I certainly wouldnt fly for the pathetic wages most of you guys are on, espeacially not the b scale fools.
Keep up the entertaining work

Another Year Another Compromise
Just wanted to reignite this thread to update all who may have previously had an interest about the lack of balls that evolved from the initial chest beating about "taking it to the man". The current status is a NON UNION Collective agreement with little (none) more than WOULD have been achieved 6 months ago by individuals prepared to sit down & talk about their own careers & conditions.
It is so frustrating that many of my pilot colleagues threaten so much about their collective strength & then fall like a pack of cards when the going gets tough.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !

The Problem
The continuation of suppressed wages barely maintained (particularly in the West) by a national CPI average for 5 years without the leverage of a union being a party to an agreement & the continuation of 'B' scale colleagues..............mmmmmmmm............you tell me the problem compared to the original rhetoric of 'the fight' ?

Blaster,
Quite interesting you are trying to cast stones at those that took action and appear quite happy with the outcome, when it would appear that you signed the first piece of paper dropped infront of you, appears misinformed and a tad hypocritical.

That is a fair call Rock Thrower but my point was that having beat their chests & said time we will get what we want & it will be better than what we would have gotten any other way - there WAS no action & there IS no outcome other than what would have been achieved by sitting on their hands & keeping the old agreements.
I acknowledge the right but am sick of the bravado among my colleagues without the substance to REALLY fight for what they really believe is their right !!

What chest beating bravado?
The NJS boys and girls' aim was the removal of the B scale...they achieved that and more by the sound of it.
If you ask me this is a win for reason.
