What I can’t cop are pilots who are happy to take take the money, whinge continually about their employer and say they engage in some sort of guerilla warfare against their employer. If they are so unhappy why don’t they change employers or change occupations.Having a profession as an airline pilot is a wonderful opportunity in life. Why not enjoy it?
I thank my lucky stars that I’m an airline pilot and have spent 95% of my career working for a company I was proud of. Change employees? You obviously don’t know about seniority in an airline. Change careers at 60? Sure, great idea. Guerilla warfare, I don’t call it that, I call it withdrawal of enthusiasm and it’s shared by the vast majority of pilots in Qantas IMO. Lastly, guerilla warfare is what I call the actions of Qantas towards its pilots.
