The Fair Work Commission (FWC) has urged Virgin Australia pilots to accept a new contract that will see salaries increase by 21% over three years.  

The Fair Work Commission was asked to step in after Virgin Australia pilots represented by the Transport Workers Union voted against a proposed agreement in July 2024.  

The new deal “significantly restores pay and conditions which were decimated during the airline’s administration process” when US private equity firm Bain Capital took control of the airline in 2020, according to a statement from the TWU on September 16, 2024.
