Looks like they might have an over supply of pilots if all their conquests are grounded!

Anyone know which mines this will affect?

SmokingHole 25th Aug 2007 12:55

Talking to one of their konky drivers the other day. They mostly use them to take care of all the adhoc stuff. Sounded like a pretty good gig as far as single pilot stuff goes - apart from the fact it's with SA:cool:

TQ,
Selling Grandmothers ?, apparently Wiz is trying to give his away.

Shed Dog Tosser 26th Aug 2007 00:12

Cont 520,

Over a beer heard apparently more to Skywest and Virgin, who remains from your:
SJ, TA, AL, AS, CC, SL, SM.

10-15K in the pay packet has worked for other organisations in this predicament.

Towering Q 26th Aug 2007 00:55

Conti might be too busy studying "supersonic aerodynamics" to answer that.:oh:

LRT, I thought the Wiz would have been too old to have grandparents to give away.

Ha Ha TQ, slip of the keyboard, no need to rub it in.:)

LHRT, my Nana says your the best she's had and she wouldn't even consider letting me give her away. you spoiled her mate. (you know......like I did with your sister and mum) :E
TQ.....mate, I'm only 26. I just had a hard life.:ok:

vee tail 26th Aug 2007 10:04

A hard life WIZ, I think more like the life of an intersate mack bonnet emblem thinking bout your wear and tear, or should i say wear and torn!!:ok:

Continental-520 26th Aug 2007 10:56

Shed Dog Tosser,
 
Piston Broke Again is on the money.


520.

the wizard of auz 26th Aug 2007 15:40

Yeah.onya Vee tail..........you oil painting you. :ok:

Shed Dog Tosser 27th Aug 2007 01:12

Apparently Network have just given their Pilots an unprompted significant pay rise.

Maroomba/NJS apparently already pay better SA, and these companies are not having the same staffing problems, it just defies logic :).

the wizard of auz 27th Aug 2007 08:13

maybe a step sideways is required mate...........literally. :}
Hey, my Nana likes you too. :E

Richo 27th Aug 2007 12:00

Well Well, Shed dog T, tell US more.

Mecarsa Bitrusty 28th Aug 2007 11:15

I’ve heard the same info about Network, I wonder how long it will take for Skippers to come to the party? The last thing they need is for people to defect to network for more cash!

Ref + 10 28th Aug 2007 11:28

Network rumour isn't true.

Mickster 28th Aug 2007 17:55

Aww...don't let the truth get in the way of a good rumour! :)

Ref + 10 29th Aug 2007 11:52

Sorry Mick. I would have love to have verified it and told you that we were now paid the same as senior QF 744 drivers. Alas....

On another note, apparently they are offering some rather lucrative numbers to people who have other jobs to go to in order to get them to stay. Around a 50% rise. But they are taking the lesser paying jobs because of the better working environment with other operators.

Why does it have to be this way?? The reactiveness of this industry astounds me when a bit of forward thinking would cost less and make companies so much better in the mid term run. Over the long run the companies would recoup their money 20 fold... Sorry, drifted off into la-la land there at the end.

Word is on the street theres a new AWA doing the rounds - 75K for Metro drivers, 95K for Bras. Not before time.

There is no way this can be true. These companies just do not make this kind of money.

When are you guys going to wake up to the true nature of your own industry?
