Network Aviation Mass Exodus
The QF IR Team is waiting for the Alliance takeover to be approved. They will then approach NAA Unions and Reps to begin negotiations regarding a new EA. They’ll then apply the standard playbook of “sign this rubbish deal or we will replace you”.
What we all need to do is encourage and support NAA Pilots to get negotiating BEFORE QF force their hand. Go in hard and fast.
Even if your not an NAA Pilot or you couldn’t care less about what happens in Perth a quick simple email to your union asking them to begin negotiations for a new NAA EBA could make a massive difference to your pay in the future.
The unions will not ignore 300+ emails from pilots all around Australia asking them to get negotiating.

There is no doubt at all that AIPA is only supporting QANTAS mainline pilots and all others who think they are being represented are being stooged.
AIPA wil sell out all other group pilots to keep mainline ticking along, eg 3% Payrises, equivalent of 5% in other groups who have mostly got 2% or nothing .
Its time for the group Pilots to get together and form their own representation as at the moment there really isn’t any .

From this weeks AIPA newsletter (sent to all members, including Mainline):
Network Aviation negotiations commenced this week on Tuesday with AIPA bargaining reps as well as members from AIPA’s Legal/ IR team attending in Perth. It was pleasing to hear the Network COO confirm that their interests were aligned with AIPA’s in terms of ensuring that we could reach an agreement relatively quickly that focussed on pilot retention and career stability/progression for our Network members.

LMFAO! Rentention!! One operator in china looking for DECs on average coin and I know 8 Network guys sniffing around. Just wait until it gets back to pre COVID demand. Only thing they will retain is an overworked training department, albeit a dis functional one from all reports.

Good to see some gentle PPRUNE pressure has encouraged the Pilot unions and QF to finally start discussions.
The NAA Pilots will need to provide QF with a list of non-negotiable ‘Strategic Imperatives’ and if these ‘Strategic Imperatives’ are not met then advise QF that the flying that the NAA Pilots currently conduct will need to be operated by another entity.

You are só far ahead of your ski's...if you remotely knew as much as you set out to insinuate, you would've known that negotiations had commenced before you started barking on PPRuNe

Terrible it looks like. Take a look at that agreement vs the award. Looks like network aviation pays award wages, or less than if they are not keeping up, but can more than award hours. Lost count of the network pilots that have applied to over here.

From what I hear most FO's are applying elsewhere, including many who have just joined. Just over 100k these days ain't much to be driving out to work 6 days in a row, often at 4am followed by two off. Half the Captains have already had mainline interviews. It's a shame really it was a great little airline.
As if your visceral hatred of Qantas wasn’t already obvious enough you have to again demonstrate your personal affront that you can’t get a DEC gig.
