So they were happy to retire in an FO / SO position, and miss out on their command all because of the lost decade? Doesn’t really make sense.
I can tell you the last two flights I have done, both FOs late 50s / early 60s. They will retire in the FO position. They will never get a widebody command at Qantas. All because of the lost decade. There is a chance of this occurring again with a NO vote.
I respect your opinion, but I still don’t think you understand how voting NO will actually result in worse conditions AND loss of flying for mainline in the future. Especially considering your only argument so far is that it’s worth the gamble for the 2nd and 3rd option.
