717 NJS - What's Going On?
I love seeing them repeatedly advertise for jobs that obviously nobody is applying for. Hopefully someone in ‘the campus’ is watching their KPIs and bonus slip away.
Also the repeated advertisments are required as part of the labour market testing before they can go for importing temporary visa holders - not that they will get anyone that way either.
Will be interesting to see what this mob end up doing. Will they pay international pilots $400K a year through a pilot contract company or just use the sim/fly the planes around empty for a bit to get the required hours up.
Apparently an application to the Department of Home Affairs has been made to allow the sponsorship of overseas pilots to occur.

60% (of those that voted) ignored the union.
Anyone who has voted for NJS, bin chicken airways and even the dash trash agreements shouldn't be in command of a shopping trolley let alone an aircraft!

They can get f**ked! If they want that information they can pay me a liveable salary! These airlines are in for a reality check. At this rate I will be setting up a pilot mercenary business to get as many pilots out of this underpaid sh*thole of a country to other international airlines that need pilots.
It is time that pilots start demanding far better salaries and conditions and if these demands cannot be met its time to strike or leave.
It wasnt that long by ago the AFAP advised the NJS pilots to accept an agreement ”it was a good deal” they said. It was rubbish. It wasn’t accepted and the pilots chose a different union to represent them. and achieved way better conditions. The point being unions/federations , whatever name they go by are simply people with their own agendas, which do not always represent the pilot body. Whilst NJS conditions may no be ideal and I support I mprovements, you cannot say. its because the pilots didn’t obey some dodgy federation and remember their conditions to date have been way ahead of Network/Alliance/Air North or an other comparable company.

From what I can see in the NJS contract and what I know from Alliance. A 717 FO is on less than an Ejet/F100 FO, Capts on a little more but overall productivity kicks in higher at NJS (65 hours, please correct me if I'm wrong vs 55 Alliance). So I wouldn't say way ahead!
All that said, pilots in Oz need better pay and conditions across the board and hopefully this is something that will start to occur in the not to distant future.

With all due respect to you, the AFAP are a joke and can not to be taken seriously.
