Future of Jetstar
Certainly take a little longer to load/ unload the SLF.
Also you can certainly fly a little longer so no doubt more overnights.

321N still classified as a NB aircraft so I’m not expecting anything. More overnights... yes please I want that I don’t want to do the daily grind in SY traffic and high toll prices.
Workload, no. Responsibility yes. They’re asking us to increase our responsibility of our day to day by 12%.
anyway, this is a conversation for another time. Let’s focus on getting people their livelihoods back.

Overall base should take into account, half a fleet of 244 seaters. I’d argue your base isn’t even reflective of a 180 seat machine let alone something bigger. Your way behind. The Jetstar base isn’t a competitive offer vs what is on offer out in the western world. It’s one of those, do more for less Agreements. I do give you lot credit though for trying to change that during recent negotiations, it’s certainly no trade secret, that the current deal is poor.

...and JetStars pay will tied to NETWORKs F100 pay as it introduces its A320 service coast to coast... been happening since ‘93 when the NJS BAE146 was brought in to parasite the mainline B737 operation , AJ is finally bringing Dixon’s grand plan to its final conclusion thanks to a worldwide pandemic... I hope that at least a skeleton B737 service will continue operations to keep all the mainline pilots heads above water , but JetStar has been parasiting their flying for years.
The hourly rate was a few % higher on the B744 compared to the classic B747. The pilots were taking on some of the duties previously performed by the Flight Engineer although the recording of parameters was performed by onboard systems.

If you're negotiating with the company then I wouldn't look at it from a "we're working harder" point of view I'd push the increased productivity point of view - speak $$$$ - their language.
You can bet your house though that if they introduced a smaller aircraft then they will be asking for a lower salary. It just doesn't suit them that pilots of a 30% bigger aircraft should get paid more.
For the ones claiming you should be paid more to fly the A321...
i guess you’ll be happy to take a pay cut when the A319’s arrive... less responsibility... less pay
