Fraud days if you want to call them that. What is personal leave supposed to be used for if not to manage ones fitness to operate?
Evertonian
Heads up for the JQ pilots. Over at the opposition a lot of effort went into log of claims to address lifestyle issues (getting worked like a dog, living out of a suitcase to mention just a few of many). It seemed to work over a couple of rosters but in the end it ended up worse than ever as levers were pulled in the background.
In the posters defence UFD and FTG days are there specifically for that purpose, don’t forget FTG mitigation is joint responsibility and if a pilot thinks they are not FIT to fly for ANY reason it is up to them to remove themselves from that duty. FIT doesn’t just mean sick.
This morning friends are stuck in Hawaii courtesy of Jetstar, cancellations at 12 hours notice at the end of their Hawaiian holiday, all hotels full and no seats until 2-3 Jan perhaps. This was apparently a Qantas code share flight as well - there wasn’t a Qantas mainline alternative flight. He and his family are now venting all over facebook, instagram, Twitter, etc. Pilot industrial action will no doubt be blamed.
This just reinforces people’s perceptions that Qantas Group are unreliable and poor value to boot.

Its more a case of ‘which one is broken this week’.

A payrise for all the pilots at the star would only cost the company what, ~20mil? Whats so diffucult
Are the Lemon Liners intrinsically unreliable or is it a matter of QF maintaining them to the bare minimum like they do with some other types?
I guarantee Jetstar will not budge and will burn cash instead to ensure no precedent is set. Your actions will be futile, unfortunately
At the very least, have SOME pride. Don't just bend over and spread the cheeks and let them have at you ad infinitum.
Sheesh.
Good luck to the JQ crews.
It’s worth remembering that it’s the government of the day that appoints Fair Work Commissioners who will ultimately be the ones arbitrating an outcome - and that the Government over the last 6 years is not exactly a friend of the Unions. All you have to do is look at some of the previous Ministers for Industrial Relations - Eric Abetz and Michaelia Cash (very right wing members of the Liberal Party).
If this goes to Arbitration - look for the Company to be asking for less than 3% pay increases.
Good on the JQ pilots for taking it up to the Company and arguing against this arbitrary wages policy. However I am not sure what the strategy is from here (or what it really was from the start - but that’s for another discussion) and unfortunately the pilot group may find out just how unfairly stacked the ‘system’ is in favour of big business in this country.

Precisely.
Soft Corruption works a treat.
The heads of ASIC, APRA, ACCC et al are all likely members on the non disclosed, non discussed, non audited example of Australian corruption.
The only part of Fair Work Australia that is fair is the name. The "commission" stacked with right wing zealots appointed by the same idiots that are happy to fiddle (in Hawaii) why Sydney burns.

Or, in this case - a sleeping fork toothed midget. Although, it appears he had his teeth fixed ? I guess that 20 million dollar remuneration package isn’t going to spend itself.
I wish the Jetstar pilot group every success, and an EBA that reflects their efforts. And that’s a great deal higher than 3%.
Joyce has done consistently mediocre work, whilst earning more than the CEOs of the worlds most profitable airlines. Alan wouldn’t put up with 3%. And nor would “General” Yamamoto” 😂 (where do they find these people ? No wonder he’s so grateful for the status quo)
