Network Aviation Mass Exodus
The issue isn’t the pay of the SO. It’s the low pay of the subsidiaries that someone else mentioned was a managers wet dream in a pilot over supply.
There has long been a rumour floating around that when NAA announced years ago that they’d get a320s some of their pilots went to management and offered to fly it on min wage or F100 pay just to fly something nicer and get airbus in their log book. Someone correct me if this is true or not. I have been advised their AL is paid at a Fokker rate?
I can tell you every mainline pilot I speak to is gunning for JQ and NAA to get the pay rises they deserve and F-off the group pay freeze bribe. The better they are paid the better off everyone else is, including mainline drivers.
Raise the bottom of the industry. Don’t bring down the top.
Reminds me of a VARA F100 driver who stated in 2019 before the pandemic was even a thing that “sometimes we gotta help management out and take a pay cut. We are already paid very well”……….

Regardless of what everyone thinks Network pilots accepted their crappy pay so it’s their own fault. This fantasy of trying to improve conditions won’t work unless you actually do something and get a decent paid flying job, so just leave and let them deal with it. Simple economics.

What they need to be doing is appreciating that QF needs them more than they need QF and encourage their union reps to demand action on negotiating a new EA. If QF is refusing to sit down at the table then time for PIA. Simple.

So let me get this right. 2 years before the A320’s are introduced a select few come up with a cunning plan to get into check and training. Who also were already in check and training. THEN convinced around 60 pilots to vote yes to a terrible agreement that no one liked. THEN sat there for the next two years secretly bidding their time until PRESTO! They got exactly what they wanted…
Sounds like some geniuses right there!
IF, however, you are talking about a MANAGER back then and not a pilot then I could believe it…
Can I ask, WHO CARES? Most of the pilots who stupidly voted yes are long gone, plenty of new folks for management to brainwash.
Also the CWA was utter trash and the EA was an improvement from that turd of an agreement. Maybe it’s possible that 60 pilots saw this and voted yes as apposed to your ludicrous conspiracy theory.
Thread Starter
With an EA that expired in 2020 I assume NAA Pilots have weekly EA meetings scheduled with the QF IR team? Regular updates from their unions on how these meetings are progressing?
Well for the AFAP, AIPA and TWU yes, it is rather embarrassing really. Especially the TWU members since I’m almost certain, and please feel free to screen shot an email example if I’m wrong, most of those misguided pilots have never once been mentioned in their newsletter/communication media… again if I’m wrong please correct me with a screenshot please.
But my word that TWU is a cheap cheap option damn it and way too hard to pass up!
Imagine the savings at retirement in fees…..
