Lordy - you lot need to hold it together.
Just remember - you all do the same job - you all put up with time away from those who love you - you all put up with multiple checkpoints each year that could end your career.
You even fly the same bloody things - why should a JQ pilot earn less? (im not JQ btw!).
The JQ lot signed up when it was going cheap - they did what they had to do. Not everyone can work for QAL - management made sure of that. Take it up with Dixon and Joyce.
Unfortunately for management, people with your skill and demeanour are in short supply - so you should be embracing your brothers and sisters making the most of it - by demanding more!
It benefits everyone, and it's the only mark/legacy on this industry available to you right now.
