JQ pilot pay fight

JQ pilot pay fight

JETSTAR is pleading with its staff “not to disrupt the travel plans of tens of thousands” after union members voted in favour of taking industrial action.

Pilots and ground crew are negotiating over wages and conditions, with pilots saying they will initially conduct four hour stoppages next weekend.

Jetstar CEO Gareth Evans said he was disappointed at the move, adding that the carrier had proposed a 3% annual pay rise and that the average JQ Captain’s earnings were over $300k a year.
