The company is flashing this 300k figure like it’s a bombshell Perhaps an offer to the company to take a wage freeze whereby every pilot stays in 300k for twelve months should be made in a well publicized media event. As has been correctly pointed out anyway, public opinion does not not affect the EBA terms and outcome. |

If the figure was 100k I'm sure there would still be plenty of the public crying unfair.

From the SMH; ”We call on the union to put a fair and reasonable agreement on the table that ensures the future of low fares for all Australians” Gareth Evans, JQ CEO. Its purely up to you Pilots or else we’re gonna have to charge the Bogans more... How much does Mr Evans get paid again?. Mr $24 million might have to take a cut if it’s that critical? Jetstar is an Amaaaaaaazing business isn’t it? Plenty of profits to share around or is that not true now? Good luck all, you get what you fight for. |
FY19 Gareth Evans 3,979,000 Jetstar is a business of not even $4b. When comparing to other customer facing $4b business such as Kmart, Target, BIGW, Officeworks, these executives earn less than half, even a third of what Gareth does. Ground Crews earn a hundred grand? Jetstar has hit back, saying pilots already earn around $300,000 a year and some ground staff get over $100,000. Michael Kaine, the National Secretary of the Transport Workers Union joins us at Sydney Airport. |
Have they asked you to “be professional” yet? |

In regards to ground crew earning $100k, if that's the case, that's a management issue of not having enough staff to cover the operation. Likewise if there is a group of pilot's earning $300k because of overtime (I don't know what they actually earn) that's a management issue. So if salaries are high because of overtime, the union should try to highlight it as an issue of bad management.
I'm outside of aviation now, but where I work there was a number of staff who weren't replaced but covered on overtime. It might be cheaper to start with than hiring a new employee, but now it's gone on for so long that it must be a cost. People are getting burnt out and while they may do overtime, they are taking sick days on their shifts, so there is even more overtime. If the staffing level was correct then there would be minmal overtime, as it would only be required to cover ad-hoc absences. Because of this I'm likely to earn an additional $18k-20k this year because of overtime and I don't do a lot of it. |
I’m told the effects are already been felt with all international services to be cancelled this weekend and 1000 services in January to be cancelled due to the effect on forward bookings. Only time will tell if it’s correct or not. |

Only time will tell if it’s correct or not. I hazard a guess that so called ‘forward bookings’ route cancellations will be poor performing routes taking advantage of the situation. Think Avalon and low season QLD runs. |
Friday the 13th...
|
I am aware companies will no longer book personnel on JQ. Have seen the memo put out one organisation. |
Looks like Tiger will now be able to expand .
|
If you are worried about what the public think I overheard two people talking today who are not in the industry.
The closing statement to their discussion was “well if only the company would listen to their employees this wouldn’t be happening”. Bravo |
I assume the Lockout will not be far away. |
I don’t think that’ll work again Jetstar isn’t an essential service like Qantas claimed to be the Trams have had many strikes recently in Victoria and are an essential service, and they continue to strike |
|
They have ceased taking bookings for all services between Friday to Monday. Details tomorrow on how they are going to navigate through this with the added addition of the Friday ground crew strikes. TWU have announced its bans for this Friday across most major airports, stopping for 4 hour periods. |
Getting close now, all the best ladies and gentlemen i can imagine it's stressful as hell, keep your head up whatever happens
