Given the award for a ejet FO is in the vicinity of 103k, I find it had to believe that Alliance could legally offer that…..

Nope he's right. Just saw the email from the recruiter, 3600GBP per month for FOs. They're after 15 Captains and 15 FOs, look to be targeting Brits.

Yeah because an aviation operator with form in underpayment and poor conditions has never tried to circumvent the award in this country.
Please, direct me to the fainting couch.

Is there a pilot shortage here or something?

I have also seen said email. They can offer whatever they want, however they must still abide by minimum wages set by fair work. They can try and pay less but will end up in court.

I see a few hoops to jump through and even then…

First they need some takers, to live in the NT on that salary having moved from UK.

They need visas to work in Australia, issues just there.

The salary on offer may not meet FWC requirements.

They will need either licence conversion or certificate of validation.

Once all those issues have been sorted, they are talking about 15 crews. That would be about 10% of their crew requirement.

On top of that, they would have to provide proof they need them above Australians. E190 is not a new type Although I think Rex did this with SA on the SAAB few yrs back.

Qantas forced NJS pilots to relocate from Darwin when they closed their Darwin base (after 30 years of operation). These people were long term Territorians with homes, families and kids in school who would have stayed for the rest of their careers.

If QF can’t crew flights from Darwin it’s their own fault completely.

The industry in this country never ceases to amaze me. Appalling that they can get away with this type of rubbish.

The free serviced apartment, Staff travel with QF and a touring roster with 14 days off is very attractive as an Australian!

Is that in your EA!

Normally B scalers get lesser conditions, the pay works out to the modern award rate assuming they are talking take home pay circa 76KAUD.

3 assertions in the first sentence, and you’re wrong - on all 3 occasions. Have you considered a political career?

Its people like you who not only don’t think this offer is a disgrace, on a few different levels, but is something to be grateful for (i.e. You’d accept this) that see us were we are in this industry today.

I really don’t know how you live with yourself. (Unless you’re management, in which case, you’re totally used to this level of scum-baggery)

The position listing states;
Serviced apartment provided at home base
56/14 Rotation with concessional commuting flights to UK (LHR) on QANTAS

I assumed this offer is undermining those already at QQ on the 190. Personally have no idea what their agreement terms are, so yes this is an assumption on my behalf, and a mild attempt at ironic commentary given how many highly experienced redundant pilots are looking for work in Australia.

I'm sure they are. However I think the employees of "QF mainline" (QF pre merger) should be the happy ones. Domestic has been far more profitable than international since the merger. I CBA to add it up but the differences in returns between domestic and international would be orders of magnitude different. If QF was still international only, given the last few years, there's a good chance it wouldn't still be here.

Who do you pay tax to in these international FIFO arrangements? Is the housing & flights considered a fringe benefit?
Historically the ATO has usually frown upon these type of arrangements and made it difficult.

I wonder if it's a free serviced apartment or they'll just ensure they have one available for you to rent at their rates?
Staff travel for the international bit to and from London will be down the back as all the comfy seats are long gone by the time the upgrades get to staff with anything less than an executive level upgrade category.

And surely mainline QF staff won't allow them to travel on confirmed tickets to and from london ahead of staff travellers (ie WB pilots and their families)
