:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Good to see. Plenty of pilots talk big, but these guys are ready to walk the walk.

Lets get behind the NJS boys and girls and give them our support.

Go you good thing :ok:

It's good to see that the company doesn't believe the business will be affected!

If I were a NJS ticket holder, I would be sleeping well knowing my travel plans are safe.

NOT!!!

i dont think the passengers will be too worried, another day on the mine, another $500

G'day NSJ,
Perhaps in some cases they wouldn't mind staying back a few extra days but from what I have seen, the time off for a lot of the workers is more sacred than the pay packet. On the flip side, there would inevitably be some rostering catch up for the people out on break to make up for their lost time on site. So when it is all over, most would not necessarily be better off financially, rather just doing extra work to compensate for an extended break.

Time for all those charter operators out there to make sure they have plenty of airframes and crews available.:ok::ok:

About time!!
 

Stick it to 'em!!!!! :ok: :D

Good luck girls n boys!!

Just the start I believe....

All these F%$KED up operators who have been taking advantage of us for years are now starting to get what they deserve...

I hope the NJS boys/gals stick together and make all areas of the industry listen....:ok::ok:

I think there will be many more going down this path soon......

OzJet, Alliance, XR and anyone else with some spare aeroplanes could do pretty well out of all of this...

There's a company called Skippers that have a few spare aircraft around...oh wait but hang on.... NO PILOTS to fly them BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!:}

My thought exactly, Slice. Just when they could have stood to take advantage of the NJS strike, Skippers' stingy habits have bit them in the @rse!!! Oh the irony! :E :D

Methinks Network and Maroomba will poach whatever they can, dunno about XR, they seem to crosshire NJS a fair bit -where will that leave them??

BrazBird

Good luck with your fight for better conditions.
Remember your fight is with management and SOME other pilots.....

You'll upset Kim - Il - John Mugabe Howard the most :E

Go for it Guys!!!

Good luck and all the best with it all!!!

Good to see a pilot group standing up for a change and not rolling over and selling one's self short as others have in the past....!

Hopefully the tied is turning, go for it lads! I'll be rooting for you!

cheers,

SP

While being in support for the guys in NJS I hope that this is handled the right way or it might just play into the hands of Kim Il Howard in this election year.

You could be right LL, but I think (hope) it's all over now,people have made up their minds - seen the lies for what they are, stopped listening Work no Choices the final insult.......

Whilst I agree with lowerlobe, this could also be used as an example to other workers in Australia. That being, if a skilled group of workers is having to go to this extreme to get their employer to negotiate, imagine what it is like for unskilled workers.

Good luck with it guys.

Ahh - rammel, a valid point indeed. Shrek would disagree of course, and get plenty of air time to do it. :{

I'm off for the evening (children school commitments :cool:)

:E
WOOP WOOP!

THIS IS BUT THE BEGINNING FRIENDS....

:ok::D:8:p

Only the fools in Adelaide:D

It seems incongruous that pilots should have any truck with the TWU: here's hoping the wheels don't come off.

meat cleavers are designed to cleave meat, so it will be sticking out of exactly whats its designed to be sticking out of!
