However the communities in the remote areas DON’T!
Salary increases would be great for flight crews, however the government must step up and immediately put more resources into aviation training and relax their rubbish rules and security bull**** with regards to airport access.

This is Australia. They will park aircraft up for years and years and burn millions before even considering a more competitive offer to maintain a fleet. That is the legacy of Alan which has spread like a cancer across this whole country.
I think with the Toowoomba flying school in full swing with cadets courses being pumped out one after another they won’t have an issue with feeding the QANTAS Group airlines
Cadets won’t solve the retention issues outside of Mainline, you wont get cadets hanging around at Jetstar or other subs for 30 years. They all want to fly big twins just ask them. They will be leaving before they have even arrived at those subs. If they don’t get what they want, then the same will happen which went on at Rex, a whole wave went to the ME who had reduced minimums.
Retention issues are likely going to be much worse at Alliance, Virgin and Rex. Virgin could fix its retention problems if they actually for once put some effort into crew engagement, that won’t happen while the yanks are in milking the cow mode.

Judging by the amount of current F/O’s interviewing elsewhere, it won’t be them.
A lot of pilots talk the talk but won’t walk the walk and most of us are guilty of this as we value living in Australia and/or our family aren’t keen on the idea of moving overseas due to family / career etc etc.
I get the conundrum the QF Group management / employees are in. Take those who are loyal and stay in the group but completely obliterate the subsidiaries or try and stimulate internal progression to mainline (but release date is 1-2yr away) but risk those on the hold walking as they can see how many seniority slots they’re going to lose.
I don’t know what the answer is and I feel sorry for everyone on both sides of the fence trying to work through this.I’d be very interested to know just how many are actually leaving our shores and whether it is really affecting filling seats here in Oz…I don’t believe it is

I am fairly sure the Toowoomba pilots are being sent to GA jobs up in the Far North?

2. How about the RHS of a jet, it's done all around the world, except spaceshuttle land.
3. What? Every graduate of the 'academy' gets a gig up north? yeah/nah.
It's pretty simple. Recruit into mainline and hold people back for a few years if you need to but, give them a number on the seniority list. Then they don't feel like they are being screwed when all the externals jump them. Having airlines like Jetstar not treating employees with absolute contempt and basic quality of life improvements wouldn't hurt either.
A lot of legacies in the US now have flow programs for their regional pilots into mainline, with expected flow dates. The benefit is that assuming everything goes according to plan you walk into your mainline job, the downside is you lose seniority numbers in the meantime and run the risk of the economy slowing down before you get there. If you leave your regional for anywhere other than your legacy, you cannot apply off the street to that legacy for 12 months.
My opinion of these types of programs is that they are weapons designed to keep pilots where management wants them, ie staffing their feeders at cheaper rates. Qantas does the same thing with their Links, and for the same reasons. That leaves Aussies that want the big Q on their resume two options. Stay at your Link, and know you'll be there a long time, or leave your Link and take your chances.
