Based on 840 hours!!!!!!!!!

Are you saying that will be what each person is expected to fly each year? These figures are base + flight pay so no extra? wow

The consensus was that hours flown would reduce dramatically when the parties settled.

Can't get over 840 as the long term figure. Might as well sleep in a 320 at night and get ready the next morning

TT vs JQ vs DJ

I hear from a friend at JQ that most of them are hovering around 900 hrs. Looks to me like Tigers pay is now superior.

Leaves Jetstar looking like a fairly grim place to work;
Less money for more flying
Threat of losing flying and base transfers to the Gen Y cadets
Multiple workplace agreements for the same job
Name up in lights in the senate
Offshoring strategy for expansion
A very poor payroll department
Highly disengaged workforce
Floor level morale amongst the workforce in general

On ya John Borgetti!!

You will get to 840 hours a year quite easily. Equates (and I say roughly) to about 72 hours stick in a 28 day roster with 6 weeks off per year. Certainty is a major step up from what they were getting and really makes Jetstar look lousy. Wonder if the rush to singapore and NZ will stop now as people apply to tiger.
Probably not knowing pilots.
At least this is going in the right direction.

Hours are more up in the 900-950 mark, depends which base you are at.

Not bad considering overnights are quite minimal, ADL base good roster, no overnights.

Haven't seen this one before. Good on them.

So now Tiger has a better EBA than Jetstar. What about Strategic out of interest. What is their deal?

Starting to sound like Jetstar TC's are right at the bottom now.
TT an ultra low cost Singapore owned carrier have a better deal WOW.

Can't wait to see the J* EBA.

Actually It's a toss up between J* and V Aus for the worst conditions now.

fmcinop - thanks for posting. What's the feeling of employees on this outcome? On face value, the big ticket items look good. Geez 12% for just over 2 years is nothing to scoff out in this climate (even with a bit of catch up for TT pilots). And what was the sign on bonus for? Back pay or just an "incentive"?

J* lowest by a country mile

Mr Hat .... V Aus's EBA is near completion so their conditions will be much improved very soon. SS is well gone and JB has made clear his desire to resolve the EBA quickly. If Tiger and V can do decent deals why does QF have to create the angst it does!!!!

Can't help you there as I don't work for tiger!

I looks like a vast improvement though. Well done to the negotiators and the AFAP.

Latest pay offer at V on the other hand was rubbish. 2.5% for a captain including the rise 1st July.

SS may well be gone, but that other fool RT is still around. Hopefully he will be next to go!

Compared to who?
Qantas?
Jetstar Aus?
Jetstar Asia?
Virgin Blue?
PacBlue?
Jetconnect?
Tiger?

Are you comparing to Australian conditions? Worldwide conditions? South Pacific Conditions?

Captain or FO?

Base salary? or Total Gross earnings? or Total Package?

Transferred to $AUD or $USD or Sterling or something else?

I put it to you that Jetstar NZ Captains have higher Gross Earnings than Jetconnect and PacBlue Captains.

Cheers.

Possible, however NOT if you compare $ per hours flown per year!
(Most NZ Cpts are hitting 1000hrs..........)

You might want to check your figures there fella, you may be quite surprised. Jetconnect Captains are actually on a pretty sweet deal, contrary to all the banter that is being thrown around. A friend of mine in Jetconnect showed me his gross earnings from his last financial year and it was close to $200k for working on average 75 block hours a month. So unless Jetstar NZ have had a massive pay rise I'd have to beg to differ on your post limitedrisk.

I guess that's why Jetstar NZ and Pac Blue have a constant stream of captains leaving for better paid jobs where Jetconnect seam to retain their Captains.
