Roll up, roll up, for Bain and Jayne’s pea and thimble trick

30 year commands at QF
Too long to wait at VA…
Sounds like the current generation of effo’s need to either relax, take a chill pill or piss off elsewhere

I think a lot of them are pissing off. Read the room.

As announced in last week’s Qantas training allocations.

Most Junior 737 Command SYD base 16 years in the company
Most Junior A330 Command PER base 22 years in the company

Sorry to let the truth get in the way of your story!

Armies of one, thousands of them all across the industry.

​​​​​​​Yeah/Nah, doubt it.

I predict Alan will reprise his threat to outsource QF flying. This time it will be with shorthaul, with a spicy twist on his way out the door. His plan involves an all female group of Congolese Aka pygmies that are already in training at the ‘elite’ Qantas flight school. If shorhaul doesn’t bow to Alan’s will, he’ll have his greatest wish - pilots of lesser stature on even lower pay.

They would if they could. Bonza tried outsourcing the whole training and operations department. Canberra said nope.

Back to VA. With the latest news around CAE being ‘paused’, why are pilots not walking off the job for this massive breach of the current eba? It seems like the company doesn’t have to uphold their end of the bargain yet pilots do? Pilots should work to contract or walk off the job until an appropriate and fair agreement is reached.

Because there was an event in a certain year where teeth were removed and pilots and their union became the root of all boardroom jokes. The unions don’t believe in the members and the members don’t believe in the unions.

Any hint of anything resembling action results in knee knocking and pant pissing. Pathetic.

[KRUSTY 34]

Apparently there are rumblings (nothing new there) with a growing number of pilots pushing to go back to the former EBA Terms and Conditions under a new wages deal!

Probably shouldn't have given them up in the first place?

I'm sure the top 50 names, PNG boys n the like VIPA bro's will look after their mates and screw the newbies at the bottom. How Australian!

how very boomer.

[Jack D. Ripper]

I thought VA went broke?

Owners got their money out now….so no risk in trashing them joint…I’m sure Alan needs a thousand s/o’s…

Thread drift.. whats with pilots wearing 2 bars at VA now? I see a pic of the first female pilot DL wearing 2 stripes online? Thanks

[snakeslugger]

“Under training” I believe.

​​​​​​​First female for what?

Rex eba voted up, does this make VA pilots the lowest paid 737 pilots?

No EBA should be voted up right now! The first ones to jump and VOTE yes will invariably end up at the bottom.
