Have you expected full pay the past 18 months with a company in administration and hardly any flying?

So if we'll be back up and running at 75 plus hours a roster real soon, hasn't it been shown you'll earn the same money as previous?
Doesn't matter who owns VA, under time was always going to be an issue as were drafts.

Convenient they announce today a further reduction in flying hours, the day after the crap EBA is announced.. seriously.

I am not sure why everyone acts surprised? VA and now Bain have always been like this. If you are not happy (and I am not) then as posted, be an army of 1 and make it known.
Email the Chief Pilot or Senior Base and let them know. CC in the CEO and COO. We achieve nothing on here.
In saying that, I voted yes. I didnt like it one bit, but was trying to be pragmatic about the whole situation. Will I regret it? Maybe.
I hope it doesnt affect the camaraderie in the flight deck. In some cases, that is all we have.
Take care.

Reduction in flying hours? Lol your living on cloud nine if you think the next 4 months will be nothing but standown, No one is flying and lockdowns will be more common than a beer at the local bowls club. The Scomo induced recession is about to begin, we are 5-6 months behind the rest of the OECD with vaccinations, and while everyone else starts to open up we sit paralysed. It’s actually comical how pathetic we have done. Enjoy stagnation, it might start to improve after Christmas at best.
Open your eyes sheeple!! The NSW outbreak was orchestrated by Bain to make sure they got their way with the VA pilots!!! Follow the money. It was cargo pilots based in USA, where Bain is based, that infected the limo driver. It worked perfectly in Bain’s favour and now they get to stand everyone down after they got what they wanted!!!!!

We are going to start 2022 with this same BS going on. FFS, give people until Dec 31 to get the shot if they want it, after that life returns to effing normal. You catch it, so what. Stay in bed 2 weeks and act responsibly. You choose to roll the dice and not have the shot, well stiff shit. You are responsible for yourself.
Destroying economies is not the answer. Not one politician has lost their job, been stood down, has lost their primary income or lost their home throughout this. Why is that? These slimeballs need to feel the pain that the rest of the country is going through. I hope the protests get bigger because there is strength in numbers. Only the general population has the numbers to end this lunacy and shake these assholes out of their ivory towers. Enough is enough.

The protests will grow louder as more and more people lose their livelihoods, their futures, and their material things. Eventually the Government and all of the melodramatic scaredy cats will have to realise that it kills less than 1% of those it infects, just like flu season. And 80% of the deaths are people over 80, morbidly obese or have other underlying factors.
