I was told that during the negotiations for the Contract of 2015 the aim was within 5 years to have only a small percentage of expats still in PX.
Guessing they must be close to that now but with the Cadet and National Pilots also leaving they will soon only have a small percentage of pilot numbers compared with aircraft numbers.
What semi smart person wouldn't have seen this coming.
The track to destruction couldn't have been mapped better if you tried.

Just had a look at the latest post in Aussie Airlines wages...
Virgin Australia narrow body EBA just voted up.
"New base rates for B737: (super not included)
Capt.
July 2017 $227,904
July 2018 $233,023
July 2019 $239,440
FO Level 1 / 2 / 3
July 2017 $125,347/$136,742/$148,138
July 2018 $128,167/$139,819/$151,471
July 2019 $131,692/$143,664/$155,637
OT trigger at 68.25 hrs per 28 day RP."
The latest Direct Entry PX B737 Captain reckons he earns the equivalent of AUD $125 K without super and only 4 weeks leave!!!!!!! OT triggers at 70.0.
Can earn more than that on the Dash.
No wonder PX can't get pilots..thankfully the separate company Link has stabilisation and a descent boss.

Hello friends
I came across two PX recruitment ads on avcanada looking for Dash Captains and Fokker crews (both Captain and FO). Apparently seeking both full-time and rotation positions. Around 2012, I saw one of their ads looking for Dash Captains with 3 weeks on/3 weeks off rotations based in Cairns with salary of ~140k/year (AUD). That seemed pretty reasonable to me. As a Dash Captain who's flown for a few months in PNG on a survey contract, I'm interested in hearing what they have to offer this time. I had a read through this discussion and there's some great info on here (thanks to all for keeping it updated with the current stuff) but I didn't see anything about current salaries and what the new rotations will be.
Can anyone comment about the current salaries and how the accommodations are which are provided in POM (I gather the lodging is in the Ela Beach area)? Also, what is the rotation they are offering (the ad says 3 on /3 off with 6 on / 6 off "by negotiation"). And what are the chances of internal movement to Fokker or other types?
Thanks very much for the help. Shoot me a PM if you don't feel like posting.

To quote Forest Gumps mother “Stupid is what Stupid does”...
Hearing the lads are getting pretty excited today preparing for tonight's exclusive invitation only drinks and nibbles in the faulty towers Cafe hosted by the ops department.
Reckon there will be plenty of room to swing a dead cat or two around.......... That's if anyone shows up.

For some reason PX admin staff struggle with (amongst many other things) the concept and use of “Mass Nouns”. Other common examples include Cargo(s), Accommodation(s) and Furniture(s).
Bloody annoying I agree but probably not at the top of the list of irritants for the troops right now. 🤪

I disagree, it does need to be at the top of the list. Airlines rise and fall on their standards. If the HR department can't master basic english language, how are they going to handle, contracts, leases, compliance, etc. This decline in oversight of standards is reflected through all aspects of the company. Just ask their customers.
