Network Aviation Mass Exodus
Heard the new tactic is to threatening termination and stand downs for negotiating day off payments. Seems the behaviours don’t change only the people. Contract work still the better choice. Guys looking for other options now. Engineers, Cabin Crew and Pilots about to leave in droves.

I’m old enough to remember what happened to the last senior manager who threw their weight around enough to attract the attention of HR. Gardening leave anyone?

When on a day off do not answer your phone for work calls.
Simples.

I’m guessing it’s just another boof head comment to try and intimidate the lads. Certainly drives potential new joiners away when they should be doing the opposite. It was looking like a way back to Oz but not anymore. Some of my ex colleagues who went there are now looking O/S again.

In a world of supply and demand, it would only be an ignorant manager who didn’t understand this concept. And only an ignorant manager would be issuing threats. (Everything, and everyone has a price IMHO)
Perhaps the said manager should be focussed on the underlying issue of perhaps why pilots may seek more remuneration for a DDO shift?
Have heard the EBA is atrocious, and was never properly addressed when the Airbus was added. Maybe a start point?
World / Australia moving to shortages, so pilot groups there should have an advantage. So long as you have individuals saying yes to poor call-out fees, there will always be that problem. The wills and the won’ts.
If everyone was a ‘won’t’ then perhaps some clever leverage could be exercised.

Is old mate still the CP?
Not a realistic comparison is it champ. If the mainline guys start flying 320s (not 321s) between Perth and Newman then why not!?

Im not suggest anyone should earn less chump. I’m stating that Network pilots should be earning more. Are you struggling with that concept?

Aussie, you probably need to reword your initial post. It certainly seems you believe Newman flying is worth less than trunk routes.
