You Ozzis think the world owes you a living and aviation is a god given right to 'Bluey'.

I look forward to the day when all of Oz is the next Sahara.

:}

Hey Pegasus, lets see how you sheilas go in the Lympics.Hah ha ha ha!!!

I look forward to the day when the cousins and the colonials don't have to pull you lot out of the ****.:}

Bout 95k including allowances for a +500 f.o (nz ;( . its the same price for big mac and a beer though- duty free helps !commands pretty quick, and despite the post,indications are that the new agreements are going to start things moving in the right direction, Super,better staff travel and another pay increase coming. if the classic flyers and the NG blokes can agree on how to operate the A/C- it will be a nice little number if you like no sandpits ,no polution etc:ok:

Neeewman

You forgot to mention being expected to work for free on your days off..... Careful.

er yes, bit of a deal breaker that one. my friend says he won't be signing if thats the case...
Bikerdenah- gotta be a gulf lad, salute!

BIKKERDENNAH; :} Haven't heard that for awhile :)... howz yours? :ok:

No favours there on their behalf ("pay increase") as they are only transferring the commission Conair got, to the workers and doesn't come close to this years CPI, let alone the previous years. $4.20 Kiwi DTA... is nothing. How do you cope with your current exchange rate?
+$6000 NZD at best (=$90,000NZD total).
$41,000 AUD for a Boeing NG rating now (yes?)... the figures don't stack up, especially when VB f/o earns more than PB Capt. :ugh:
Oh, I see above: expected to work RDO free? Yeh right. Just like I hear V want.
No wonder you're short.

You're right there!:D
It was an option to come home, prior to their introduced "F.m.S" (Fatigue mis-management system) and their 2 chances at catching up with standard pays around the region but alas.:rolleyes: We're not that desperate (nor stupid).
Plenty more 73 jobs going elsewhere on better terms. Heck, even jetcon.

Oh you mean the Fatigue Maximisation System, yep it's a goody!

2 more Senior Check & Trainers + 2 more F/o's just walked out the door.

You keeping count DeltaT?

:} and they're advertising new routes/expansion!?:confused:
Must be being crewed by "ghostriders" :) ?

Where are they going ya reckon?

Melbourne - Auckland is being advertised and more Gold Coast & Brisbane runs on their Websites.

The PB Office Workers will further cover up their mis-management skills by importing more VB pilots if required. It is never, ever, their fault.

Well this is a postive move, I see PB have taken the recruitment in house.

Virgin Blue Recruitment: Attention

And call me a simple man but the pay isnt that bad too.

Whats the cost of the rating? Do they have salary sacrifice??

The rating is AUD$33000, works out to be about $43000 NZ, no salary sacrifice. (as far as I am aware).

$43k!!
F**k that. Still got a bit to go before I will apply

I do apologise, since I last worked it out the exchange rate has changed. Its now about $40K

$40k is still to rich for me.
Cant I just give them a kidney or something?

I cant afford that and being off work for 7 weeks for the rating.
