For EK or FZ?

You gotta prove you're Australian, don't you? Never heard anything good about Australians in a cockpit, no wonder no surprise.

What's the new package looking like?

I think it’s best left to the Australians. Flying to Africa and Indian won’t be much fun. Unless you are South African and want to tell everyone how you used to fly a piston engine into all the dark holes of Africa. Pun intended.
Can’t imagine being served by GR1s is any better than GR2s.
At least the GR2 are pretty and don’t have that sour face that so many of our wonderful crew have.

Now now, dont be mean....Australians didnt invent aviation, they just perfected it :}
Just ask one :E

Same with cricket!

Are they worried that their experience pilots will jump to RIA?

I haven’t laughed so much in ages.

What on earth is a '30% PULSE salary increase' HugeJarse?

The cost on your heart increases 30%. Blood pressure to increase by similar amounts in next year's review.

Sorry mate, typo, didn’t mean to upset you.
Just posting what I heard.
This is a rumour site isn’t it, clue is in the name.

Not everyone had their parents behind paying for everything and some had to go to the darkest sh*holes. I mean, I wouldn't be happy if I couldn't get into Qantas when I had the opportunity... If I ever had it before, am i wrong? White flesh here and never been into !!!!!holes, but unlike you, I appreciate my peers.

But on a more serious note, do we really think we are getting a bonus?
Will it be bigger than the previous one or will they say we have no money?

FZ got a bonus today? Are we hearing anything? Other thread is saying 29 weeks?

Obviously rumors off problems with airbus recruitment, experience and training are totally untrue, that’s why SVP had to specifically defend their strategy it in the fleet update!
Brians becoming a bit like Baghdad bob / comical Ali!

I imagine a lot of Airbus pilots are attracted to the opportunity to fly the 380 (until they discover it is basically just another Airbus!). Maybe the prospect of flying the 350 doesn't get their juices flowing in quite the same way, even if it is a more useful type rating?

well they could have asked all the „redundant ones“ to come and give ‚em at least a bit of the old life back - but British/Arabian arrogance stopped them to do so.

It’s a shame really, they wouldn’t ask back the pilots made redundant. Now we have to fly with FOs who are afraid to taxi the 380 in AKL or fail their base training because they can’t land.
On that point, it’s the easiest Airbus to land.
Seems the whole place has started down the slippery slope again.
Is it GulfAir 2.0 again?
Maybe the 56 weeks bonus will help.

sounds a bit low to get over the pain!

Any rumours about non-typed pilots being considered? Currently flying the Embraer 175 and trying to decide between upgrading or taking a right seat on a 37.

Same here pal. 10,000 + Boeing hrs. Lots of Boeing PIC time. TRI, LCP, LTC on several Boeings. Been flying corporate the last year. I applied however, I technically don't qualify.
