‘Unfortunately I think you are probably correct , however does that mean all and sundry should just roll over and accept the crumbs thrown to them by the bosses while their collective snouts are firmly in the trough?

play their stupid games back and start at 40. Give reasons (Covid, previous pay freezes, inflation, boards greed etc). Why them and not us?
We’re stupid if we don’t go hard now. Claw back years of manipulation. Why not?
are you that short sighted?
Not short sighted. Just seen it all before. Go hard if you want but in the end it won’t amount to anything substantial. Unfortunately this is the new world we live in and it’s not confined to aviation.

also the lack of recognition of being stood down for years should be addressed.
MDC like LH and full paxing credits are a must.
Staff travel has become a disgrace also. We need a yearly confirmed business for family.
we spend most of our lives away from our family, would be nice to take them on a yearly trip to make up for the time away.
If not I’ll be hoping for PIA.
enough is enough. No more being dictated to by bean counters and MBA morons.
Throw in a unicorn too. *not going to lie, I'd like to see full paxing credits too. If I'm at work I'm still away from my family.

Agree - this should be a no brainer. If you’re in uniform, you should be being paid. Also incentivises the company to build more efficient patterns.

Not sure, but I suspect the rumoured DPC60 will go a long way to fixing this problem.

Agree that full credits for paxing would be simpler. Would need to see some samples of how this will look overall. DPC60 also fixes the sitting around somewhere on a weekend for 2.5 hrs on a transit not getting paid. Again would need to see some numbers but it has to be an improvement. It may be enough on its own to fix both of these issues.

The negotiating team would have more info on how this would look I guess if you approach one of them.

no other industry would accept half credits to be at work. None

I get it. It’s crap. It’s been one of my gripes for years.

I don’t know how the numbers work but I’m just saying that a 60% duty credit MAY (not will, may) be enough to fix both the paxing issue and the not getting paid on a transit issue.

AIPA is hopefully running the numbers to see how it works out.

Back of the envelope, a pax SYD-MEL to operate the return with a 1 hr transit is worth 2.85 hrs as opposed to the current 2.13. That’s close enough to the 3 hours to operate both ways it shouldn’t cause too much angst.

I think that is fallacious reasoning. It appears to be limiting the time frame that examples are taken from to about 35 years and then assuming that a pattern has to continue. I’m not convinced that the pattern will continue indefinitely. It hasn’t in some parts of the world so that proves it can be disrupted under certain circumstances.
In 2010 the papers had articles about US Airline pilots earning very low salaries and qualifying for food stamps. In 2023 the same papers were reporting on large sign on bonuses and 50% pay hikes.

I’d suggest when the deal comes out that every SH pilot apply the fixes to their last 6 rosters and see what the effect would be.

plus, if things that were free or low cost, will now cost more, then expect them to change the way they utilise R and AVto minimise cost. Boom. There goes the ‘payrise’

43% of network pilots were totally cool with working at half pay for overtime before the company tripped over their own dick and pissed them off enough to sway more to vote no

I don’t know if ‘totally cool’ quite describes it so much as ‘willing to tolerate it to get back pay while waiting for the recruitment process to finish at their next job’. I don’t support them there but I don’t see it the same as rolling over.

Is there any chance of even just asking for the wage freeze back? We took 3% to help out while things were in the red, now they’re not.
Even if it was pencil whipped for the frozen years pay so they can’t cry inflation or something, imagine how much good faith that would show.

Imagine how appreciated everyone would feel.
Imagine how good of a PR story it would be.

So screw over your peers for a quick payout before you move somewhere else?

Sound like great pilots to work with. Bet they shout the coffee too.

They are paying for the increase in the Super Guarantee using the wage freeze.

Got nothing on the pilots that gifted the company all these B scales over the years.

AFAP fees can now finally be taken from payroll. Refreshing to see negotiators won’t sign NDAs. Also given guarantees they won’t join management within 5 years, or take training roles within 3.
AIPA could learn a lot from these guys/girls. Open frank negotiation on members behalf. No secret deals and games. They LISTEN to their membership for direction. Network are showing us the way (hopefully).
Latest news letter is refreshing as always. Real data and no BS. A hint at what we can expect and aim for.
Well done to these volunteers.

Yeah but what’s with the 8.36% + 5%?
Talk about setting the bar low.

But I do agree, much better correspondence than the secretive AIPA who seem to be doing nothing.

Have Shorthaul Pilots already had their 2 year pay freeze IAW with the Qantas wage policy?
