Are you sure you’re not talking about their Fokker fleet?

I would also suggest that the dispatch reliability of Alliance is far greater.

Is the 717 unreliable? Or is it being operated poorly?

Ejets to replace the 717’s look like a bit of a favourite.
Don't forget in the West, QF is running almost 30 year old F100s, surely they must be a prime candidate for replacement soon?

Not all the 717s are ex impulse,the fleet has been increased over the years with some even coming out of storage in the desert.

How good is Alliance?
They are so good that they’ve blindsided their E190 Darwin/Adelaide pilots and “negotiated” an outcome that has them earning less than Alliance F100 pilots. What’s more is that the base salary is below the award. AFAP have applied to get this “agreement” terminated as it does not meet the BOOT test in their view.
This is nothing more than an opportunistic play at attempting to lower pilot conditions. They need to be called out on it.

Looking at the Modern award I get $160,542 for a Narrow Body Captain with the IFR and turbo jet allowances. I heard that they are getting $165K although I haven't seen a contract. Does that not meet the award then or is there something I have missed?

How does it compare to Network & Air North?

What are they paying for captains and FOs on the E190 at Alliance?

I believe the unions were completely unaware of this “agreement” until they stumbled across it on the FWC website.

I imagine it won’t be hard to have this piece of crap quashed.

Are you saying these pilots signed up for the job not knowing what their pay and conditions were going to be?

And when do pilots start calling out those that sign off on these rubbish agreements?

These guys would very well know that the Union had clearly not been involved, yet they are signatories to what’s arguably an all time low for a jet operator in Australia. And it’s not like Alliance are some small operator based in the middle of nowhere - they fly around 50 odd jets and have several hundred employees.

It’s a disgrace and the individuals that sign these sub standard agreements should have a good hard look at themselves.

I enquired some time ago about a DEC position onto the F100 when they were advertising for their Darwin base. I asked what the salary was, and then promptly laughed, told them it’s an absolute insult, and wished them luck.

No surprises.

You should have a good hard look at https://www.fairwork.gov.au/employee...and-harassment when you finish lecturing and trash talking others for choices they are entitled to make.

It’s disappointing to see an agreement like that. The only reason that Alliance are there is because the folks from NJS worked so hard when negotiating their agreement. QF obviously decided they were too expensive.

Remember NJS has their head office in ADL and had a DRW base for 30 odd years!

Hopefully the folks at Alliance go hard at the next negotiation and try and get up to NJS’s pay level - they seem to be the gold standard of ‘100 seat Jet pay’ in Australia at the moment.

It's one thing to accept a sub par offer for yourself individually it's completely another to sign on behalf of everyone else.

A greenfields agreement is assessed by Fair Work against the Air Pilots Award 2010 which definitely my and presumably your union has participated in and accepted. I'm no expert but E190 terms and pay must be par or above otherwise it would not have been accepted by Fair Work. Feel free to bag the union for their role in the Award and go as hard as you like on Alliance but hold off sledging individuals for making decisions they are entitled to make. Pretty simple if others don't agree with the terms Alliance have on offer they don't have to sign.

What sub par?
It’s above the award?
And seems to be what Network, Air North & Air Niugini, Virgin (Fokker) all pay.
It’s a narrow body 100 seat domestic machine.. easiest job in the world!
