The new train line will add an additional five trains (three-car sets) to the network meaning an additional 20,000 passenger trips can be made each day. The Airport Line will be supported by an enhanced bus network adding 26 new buses to the network and 1.7 million annual bus service kilometres to the Transperth network. These changes may impact workforce numbers in the future, with an increased and sustained demand for bus drivers to service these additional routes.
Click here to read the media release. The Australian Federation of Air Pilots is calling on the Federal Government to introduce a Job Ready Pilot program to get unemployed Australian pilots trained and ready to return to their roles. It is anticipated there are over 1,000 pilots in Australia currently without work which could impede the expected surge in demand for air travel once border restrictions ease.
It is for critical aircraft pilots to retain their currency. The aviation industry is fundamental to the economy. This initiative sees the union in collaboration with Ansett Aviation Training propose a $10 million Job Ready Pilot (JRP) program to maintain the proficiency of unemployed pilots ready to return to flying duties as soon as required. The three-tier training package includes medical and ASIC renewals, simulator training sessions and flight training. Click here for more information on the proposed training program. The 2021 Australasian Rail Industry (ARI) Awards will be hosted online this year and are free to attend. The ARI Awards recognise outstanding individual and company achievements in the rail industry.
