Well somebody/s must have got jobs 'cause going from all the hipe to zip means either they have what/whom they want or the whole thing is sus !
I hear it's very 'militant' there, maybe all the 'real' pilots wouldn't fit their mould!

Its been a while since this thread has been on the main stage but I was wondering if any guys who have been with SA over the last year or so could inform me on what they're like to work for?
I understand the bonuses are not being paid anymore. Im more interested in what day to day life is like? Rosters, days off etc. Seems like it would be a great job. Just wondering if the lifestyle matches. Am I right in saying that FIFO is off the cards?

Rex and Qlink and other "outfits" provide a fantastic service to Virgin Blue and Jetstar. They provide good training and experience to future jet pilot recruits. They think they are being clever by paying and treating pilots like dirt.
Message for all you big fish-in-small pond "managers": You are failing miserably! Making utter fools of yourselves and helping your opponents get a leg up.
I bet SACL don't lose 6 pilots in a month!

But it's scary. To get good money you have to go outside the JCURVE to outbackland.
Real Australians don't go there. That's only for Aboriginals, Mulga Bill and some migrants.

How long would it take for that extra $11,000+ to be gobbled up in Broome cost of living (rent, groceries etc)?

mattyj nah noone in particular. I just love it when the so called managers complain about losing pilots but wont give an inch when it comes to conditions. Why would someone knowingly stay in a job thats going backwards?
Sounds like SA have their finger on the pulse. Good on em.

I don't doubt that one bit Krusty. Most I've seen haven't been the sharpest tools in the shed. Often a lot of them don't have any qualifications for their roles they just ended up there somehow.
It takes quite a lot of foresight to see the benefit in hiring the right people and retaining them. A bit like buying a quality stock. Its a 30 to 40 year investment.
Anyway it doesn't matter as we can all up and leave when the time is right

So can someone clarify for me
What are they paying for new pilots now? Are there still retention bonuses?
How many pilots are they looking for this time?
What is FIFO?
Thanks.

You're in Darwin NTChicky, head down to the base and have a chat to the SBP.
New FOs are on the same as old FOs, sixty something plus living allowance which varies depending on the base.
New pilots don't get the retention bonus but I think they still get the performance bonus, about $6000 or so.
I don't know how many they're hiring, maybe three? But then who knows how many will resign at the end of this year.
FIFO, fit in or f*** off.
