Qantas...Post COVID
trust me still better than not having a flying career anymore

Dont forget the guys and girls who arent allowed to fly or earn a living from their chosen profession. There are plent out there that would jump at the chance to earn something. Covid or no Covid.
The truly courageous are those trying keeping it together whilst being shafted by all around them.

The chances of back pay will be almost zero so whilst they continue as normal the frontline workforce get hammered harder.
Maybe there is some truth in Sharp(rex) saying qf is technically insolvent.
Think hard before refusing redundancy.

Only be bothered by the announcement if you have an open EBA - the rest are fine - the world will be a different place by the time EBAs expire.

Maybe you can elaborate on how clever you think you are or are you just an angry little man.

Unlike LCC pilots chasing quick commands and measly bucks, we QF people like to look at the long term, and for this reason a pay freeze will be unpalatable for many. We’ve been down this road before and know exactly how it ends...with huge bonuses paid to Execs due to amazing transformations, recoveries etc etc.

The mind boggles how you think you are entitled to increasing pay when your airline is in the scenario it is.

Some of us never had our fleet parked. Pilots were always flying and continuing to make money for this company. Yet we are now forced to take an effective pay cut for the next 2 years.

He is telling us now we need get vaccinated,that is none of his business but as usual he thinks he knows everything & has an opinion on everything.
Nobody is suggesting his airline hasnt & isnt suffering but when he uses that to push his agenda on many other issues it just shows what makes him tick.
Good luck to all still working for him,you are the lifeline of the company but he has never been noble enough to recognise your efforts,he just wants more,more,more.
I think one of the best mechanisms to ensure that money saved from ‘pay freezes’ and caps on pay increases, doesn’t just end up as management bonuses, is to have an incentive scheme similar to what the short haul award currently contains.
It might not be perfect, but At least it ensures that when the turn around comes and the bonuses are flowing, that there is a contractual obligation to share in the success.
It should cost nothing to have this type of scheme implemented in every award as they are signed up for this pay freeze, to have it sitting there ready for when the profits and management bonuses begin to flow again.
