Jetstar EBA 2019
By all means continue to beat yourselves up on here if you find it therapeutic,..
I don’t think you’ll get much support from those millions out there not enjoying our salaries and conditions, nor from too many other airline pilots in this country either to be frank (or that 66% JQ majority that are smart and voted it in).
Maybe we should have another COVID couple of years to remind us of just how lucky we are. Short memories.

"Maybe we should have another COVID couple of years to remind us of just how lucky we are. Short memories". Thas FOIs take on the industry.
This is the exact problem the pilot group has encountered time and time again. This post really sums up the issues deeply embedded within the union and its issues dealing in an adult manner with its members.
Wishing for another covid experience with all the hurt and damage it caused to so many shoud get this poster kicked off this forum.
Not being paid for 2 years? I fail to see how that equates to being lucky.
FOI has really shone a light on how the AFAP " Actually operates " and the ongoing hopelessness of the situation encountered by the 34%.

Some of you lot are just embarrassing with the childish garbage you carry on with. AoA, how would you know “GA” with the 10 minutes you probably spent exposed to it. If this is “GA” (a catch phrase of idiots), then things have certainly improved since my years in it. Would also love to see you take a post on a bargaining committee and do better, but alas you can’t even string a sentence together.

GA to the airlines
Yet most full time Jetstar Captains will earn at least $250k and some even towards $300k, for flying a "JET", the same aircraft type used by the legacy airlines. How can this be GA?
This is whilst the average Australian salary is under $100k, yet somehow $250k+ is supposed to be GA and below the poverty line? (Yes, apparently Jetstar pilots are below the poverty line I heard once).

From memory, most GA jobs paid under $50k, some only $20k and you flew around in a beaten up piston single VFR.

just in time for a profit upgrade too. Surely the YES crowd must feel like a bunch of mugs.
Good work guys!!
Totally irrelevant what everyone else earns.
Jokestar, ****star, onestar, nostar, scabs, peasants weak and spineless, GA... call us what you want. I'll take my $300k this FY and you are free to call us what you want. **** money hey?

can't compare ourselves to the US gang who are earning more flying regional jets, yet we can compare ourselves to woolies workers.
.... and one union is negotiating 20% + pay rises over one year, one isn't.
Maybe it's time we get someone from the ALPA to give these blokes a pep talk. Although just about any other union in Australia with similar membership density could probably do a better job anyway.
I think it is rather appropriate to compare the negotiating and bargaining ability of pilot unions in a similar capitalistic country though.
Maybe that has something to do with it?
Did you ever compare this ?
300k is good money. It’s what you had to do to get it that counts. Maybe then, it doesn’t look like good money.
Qantas flags boosted profit of up to $1.45 billion for early 2023
Good job locking in a pay freeze for the next 2 years. Unbelievable.

Not when I'm being accused of working below the poverty line or being in GA (a low income job).
