How much would a strike cost network aviation?
With eroding conditions for cabin and flight crew such as roster protections and an eba up for negotionations. How much could a strike cost NAA with charter penalties etc.
I dare say NAA would cross hire Alliance or Skippers to fill the void caused by any strikes. They both have extra capacity, especially the latter having lost some major F100 contracts recently.
They will go to any lengths. Don’t put it past them they would even bring over Jetstar Kiwi drivers on a temp secondment if they needed to (payrise, sunshine, more hours..).

I doubt this would happen regardless. People wouldn't want to risk their jobs in this economy- understandingly so.
There are plenty of 250 hr cadets to swoop in and save the day afterall.
Gotta be able to have those top dogs get their bonus' right?

Is the current lifestyle written into the Network contracts or are you just saying that based on current flying rosters, because if its not in the contract, its not comparable at all. If its not in the contract one day you might find yourself with less lifestyle rostering than the QF alternative, why, because they can. Unless they have a scope clause mother could just roster you to do the flying that QF pilots can't because of EBA restraints.
Network Aviation F/O Base - $107k
QF Short Haul F/O Base - $141k
So yes, a significant difference, especially when factoring in overtime and nights away from home. Maybe not so significant depending on how you value time spent at home.

Strike?
Crew are scared of Ops and say yes to every request,duty change and extensions. Crew won't even enforce what little protections are current. The change to the JQ EBA should be welcomed when it comes.
