Yeah it does sound a bit dodgy, in the end your selling out your retirement to help fund your employer. It seems this relentless drive to lower T & C's for the flight crew is still on. If you check out what the RFDS pay in terms of package (QLD & Western ops), project the trend forward 4 years, deduct CPI from what they have offered the captains and the difference is not that much. Especially when you take into account the rfds pilot still gets to fly real aircraft and has great employment security. Its just an example of how some GA wages are increasing and the airlines are gradually eating at what they pay their pilots. This trend needs to be arrested otherwise the industry is ruined.

Some nice passenger on a Tiger flight yesterday night left a Bomb threat in the seat-pocket, was a hoax of course, flight only delayed couple of hrs in Bne.
Wow, really does show how the media are sure over Tiger and their antics now.

Full year results have been released for April 2009-March 2010. In Singapore dollars.
-28.3m profit posted after tax,bouncing back after a 9m loss in the first quarter. Company lost 21.7m on hedging. He noted that they would have posted a $50m profit if it wasn't for hedging losses. Forecast for next year is in upwards of 80m.
-7 more A320's due before early next year, 2 to Avalon, 5 more to Singapore/Australia/New Airline. 2 older aircraft in Singapore will most likely end service.

The negotiations are being handled by the AFAP.
For those who have no idea about the importance of history, they are scr##ed.
As indicated by the company, who couldn't care less.
Why should they. They know the history of the AFAP.

Muff Hunter,
The AFAP is only as good as it's membership. The industrial officer organised two pilot meetings in Adelaide recently to find out what the pilots wanted. On both occasions, after flying from Melbourne and paying for a venue NOT ONE pilot showed up.
If they get s##t they deserve it.
