VB management is about to receive a very strong message from the troops. That is that the VB pilots will not allow management to denigrate the profession of pilot any further by accepting such a ridiculous offer.

The high moral ground.......? Given that this is the first insight we have had to the guts of this EBA one would have to conclude that the "yes" box on the ballot isn't going to get much of a work out this time around.

lets face it. the large majority of pilots at DJ are the throw aways of aviation. Guys who could never get a start with a "real" airline, and had to go and buy a job and lower pay stanbdards through the industry.
They might act all tough with the EBA but we all know that no one else wants them, so they will take whatever.

Are you allowed to post any specifics? Has your pay increased etc
Just being nosey and will give a good indication on what they will propose for the international runs( interesting with a buisiness class product to enter the star alliance?)

right side up. don't forget there are a lot of ex AN CX guys there remember.
While I agree woth you on the remainder of guys there, is there any need to call them throw aways?
Perhaps just unlucky would have been better. But I suppose they are all happy there. Not everyone can reach the 'majors' but DJ is a good next option dont you think.

Rambo, right-side-up.......when you sit down at your computer and think "great, what can I type to wind-up these Virgin losers" do you ever stop to think for a minute you sound just a bit pathetic?
Visualising you sitting there hammering away with all you aggro you seem rather sad.
PS: Your logic is also somewhat worrying re pilots not flying for 'majors' being losers. By that logic does that mean an instructor, charter pilot, helicopter driver, Citation captain, SAAB 340 F/O or unemployed AN pilot etc is also a loser?
My goodness you are a bitter little pair? Wind-ups can be fun but unless done intelligently the wind-up-er can look like a complete t-w-a-t. Suggest you 'two' come perilously close to that definition.

rsu,
I don't agree that they're the throwaways of aviation.
Sure, they might not have cracked AN or QF, or even mightier, CX etc., but missing out doesn't mean that were never good enough; just not good enough on the day, i.e., there were applicants with more desirable quals and experience in the batch they went through with.
The airlines are full of people who were just good on the day.

I don't think they are the throwaways either at DJ. Going out on a limb here, but I'd say if QF got some of their older Captains to go and sit all the stage one process, im sure we'd be in for a suprise. I'd also suggest ex AN pilots also who joined many years ago before all the hurdle jumping at joining level, wouldn't go overly well either. Just my humble opinion.

Can't get into the majors????
I joined VB with the great OZ lifestyle in mind. As did many of our ex-EM,CX,QF drivers.
For those of us with families, lifestyle outways financial gain.
It would be interesting to see the background of these so called pilots throwing mud in DJ's direction...... I tend to think that the most recient endorsement on thier licence would be say a
C-172..... Which they probably paid for!!
Awaiting an interesting comeback......

Until Woomera makes a decision, I think we should all not get our backs up over the radical few. They are sitting back enjoying the antagonising they are casting amongst the forums, and wanting bites out of any of us. The maturity of some of these individuals has a lot to be desired.
