Jayrow (incl. Pay & Conditions/EBA)
Ads in the paper again today, EOI for Jayrow Offshore S76 Captain (Darwin), and on-shore Captains. I'd have thought with a Bristow-eske pay deal signed sealed and delivered then they'd have pilots knocking down the door to get in?

Jayrowpilt2,
Congratulations on all the pilots voting on the EBA. Looks like you might get it threw with great results for ALL. (Single engine as well)
Sorry if my posts seem to get under your skin, but it did seem to me that the single guys were getting under done, as well as not having some of the voice. looks like you guys got it all together in the end with great results. Well done
As for the previous manager you had, we had him at CHC after he come from Bristow then to Heli-Air then to you guys. Like us I can see that you's are glad to see the back of him as well.

Great to see the money on the increase & I was very tempted to throw my hat in the ring until I went to Real Estate, Property, Land and Homes for Sale, lease and rent - realestate.com.au & had a look at house prices in Darwin!!!
For those prices I'd have to live at a rest area beside the highway on the outskirts of the rubbish dump in the back my ute curled up with the dogs arse in my face while the family shared the front seat.
Bring on the global recession to knock some sense into the world I say.

Darwin Allowance
Heliduck,
Jayrow also pay a $20K per year Darwin allowance in addition to base salary to help compensate for the cost of living. Although I gotta say for those of us living down here in Vic house prices aint that cheap either.
Bladebanger,
Thanks for the good words and apology. Yes it is a good result and I can speak for all of us that this was always going to be a deal that would benefit all pilots in the company. Even though we received minimal(read pretty much zero) feedback from the onshore single guys they have still received the highest percentage increase. Same goes for our offshore co-pilots' increase. Pity CHC didn't do the same thing.

xxx,
The cost of housing, fuel, food and services are a hell of a lot more expensive than in Melbourne. The media release of impending Inpex construction has seen some advertised properties increase in price by 30-40%overnight.
Also I think you may find that the $20k is an incentive to get guys to live in Darwin. I haven't seen an ad for a Tooradin captain for a while......

Has anyone got some figures for the latest EBA? I've tried to look it up on Wagenet but no luck. Even rough figures would be good. PM me if you don't want to post. Thanks for any information.

Jayrow, Jayrow, Jayrow what are you thinking ?
I hear through the grapevine that Jayrow's has again failed to give their Pilots their agreed 4.8.% payrise.
This rise was due 1st July, nearly 2 months later the guys are still waiting.
I also heard one S76 captain has walked, wonder how many more will follow.
No Hangar in Karratha, no payrise...WTF is Jayrow thinking.

An Agreement Is Just That...an Agreement
Spot on Bladeroot.
Very unhappy pilots!!!!
What's the point of having a legally binding agreement if one party(management) choose to disregard it???
Time for the AFAP to take some action since the majority of Jayrow pilots are members.

How many more?
Well that captain only took a walk down the road to well, how to you say it, a less than reputable company that after laying off pilots, then employed others...go figure???
So i guess that he had to make the decision of the better of two evils...Jayrow not paying up or moving down the road, taking a pay cut and sacrificing job secruity. I am sure that other pilots have this on their mind right now...both down the road and Jayrow...
Love the point that someone else made a while ago about this sort of thing...when times are bad the companies don't want to pay up but when the going is good, they dont all of a sudden give us a payrise...
WTF...

Isnt this illegal
I was under the impression that an EBA was a legally binding document. If a company breaches such an agreement then they could be in a world of hurt with the commonwealth workplace authority. The workplace Ombudsman would be the appropriate authority here.

"No-one pulling pitch, no-one making money"
We'll just to see what comes out in the wash.

Heard from a guy in the building industry Jayrow are to build a hangar in Karratha 36M x 36M thats bigger than the new hangars CHC and Bristow use in Broome.............maybe they are using the pilots payrise to pay for it!!!!
