Australian Airlines...D.E Pilots?
Morning all
With Qantas setting up Pornstar and there Singapore based low cost carrier,what are the chances of them letting Australian airlines become a self run operation,ie employing there own flight deck or will Qantas pilots and the unions prevent that from ever happening?? |
As I understand the agreement, direct recruiting has always been an option for Australian Airlines... IF too few QF pilots (ie AIPA members) apply for the advertised vacancies.
So the $64 question is; 'How many want to go to Cairns and fly for Aust. Air. if the current expansion continues?' My hunch is that, with QF mainline 767 operations winding back, becoming more domestic, and with ex-Ansett crew filling various S/O seats but keen to return to a window, there won't be a shortage of applicants covered by the agreement who will apply; hence, for now, a slim chance of direct recruiting. Just my assessment, NOT rumour OR fact. |
Heard that the last intake was oversubscribed by a 9/1 ratio! at that rate, as 'Jetsbest' says, I wouldn't hold your breath.
G'day ;) |
Would need a sh** load of dough to wear that uniform.
They did get the paint job right however. |
When air micronesia lets qantas pilots join as DE Capts then we will recipricate................
|
Belive it or not pollution,there are actually a lot of AUSTRALIAN pilots working abroad.....:mad:
