Cobham Pilots march toward a 30 percent pay rise.
Cobham Pilots including, Qantaslink B717 Pilots, have commenced negotiations for a pay deal which would bring them in line with QANTAS mainline Pilot conditions.
Terms and Conditions sought include a 30 percent pay increase and a 20 percent decrease in the overtime threshold.
The Cobham Pilots are jointly represented by the AFAP and TWU.
GO YOU GOOD THINGS!!

Hmmm, good idea in principle but be careful you don't price yourselves out of a job. Sunstate and Eastern both have 'regional jet' pay scales in their EBA and whatever the Qantas group get to replace the 717 and fill the gap between the 738 and the Q400 will go to the lowest bidder....

I wouldnt worry about Eastern and Sunstate having narrow body in the EBA, they wont be getting jet equipment, its just for show. You forget about Network. The turbo prop operations are flat out finding crew and aircraft for their own operations (remember Alliance are doing Rocky and Mackay). Ads again appearing in the Australian (what happened to that QLINK thread?). They are flat out training crew on the Dash let alone letting the "Aero Club" loose on a jet operation. The Dashes have turned into a charter company chasing FIFO operations and outsource the RPT Flying.

Geez, supposedly the guys are trying for better pay and conditions, trying to stop the rot and race to the bottom and you all come on here and bag the cr$p out of them.
Nice one.
No wonder airline management loves pilots.
What a disgrace.
What chance is there

But its good to see the guys and girls growing the gonads and taking on the man!

Not exactly sure and the negotiation for our conditions are under way so it will change.
Somewhere around $70K which by itself doesn't sound fantastic, but apples to apples, you don't pay for your endorsement, you do receive a training wage and you do have accommodation and transport provided whilst doing ground school, sim etc in Brisbane.

RENURPP is on the money Nalid.
EBA I have copy of is at $68K. BAe146 and B717. no you don't pay for endo, but you get bonded, then if you change type you get bonded again, then if you take upgrade you get bonded again.

The current agreement allows for one bonding period and that is how its reflected within the current PCA. If something different is happening you should have it addressed.
It was $62500 in July 2007, you need to add CPI for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 to bring that up to date.
I just did the calculations and based on CPI March 08 - 4.2%, 09 - 2.5%, 10 - 2.9%, 11 - 3.3% the 1st year is now $71,048.79. It increases by March a;; groups CPI every year.

Cobham Pilots including, Qantaslink B717 Pilots,
Maybe so but its better than jetstar!
Bit out of date on Jet* F/O pay but it was over 80K 5 years ago, sure there was no trg pay but you received full pay on your sim check with Jet* which is generally the week after the Alteon check. Endorsement I believe is now salary sacrafice and with the extra pay over NJS you should make that back in a couple of years.
QF staff travel, which I know you guys get ( y class only and last one on ) after submitting an application to ADL 5 days in advance, opportunity ( maybe ) to go to widebody and piece of mind that QF can't drop you like a red hot potato if and when it feels like it.
Time to command prob similar but A320 command time far more useable on the contract market if thats what floats your boat.
Cobham may not be the worse job going but a bit of a stretch to say better than Jet*
