For the senior folk here (and on qrewroom
) who have no intention of ever flying the 350, and for those who can avoid flying it, for gods sake just leave the 350 terms out of your thoughts. All you do by voting No on principle, or voting no because you ‘want to look after new joiners’ (yeah right) is potentially cost any mainline pilot under 45 their career. look at the package as a whole, if you don’t want to fly the 350 you don’t have to. Just get it on the EA. if QF can’t staff it that’s their problem. at least give your junior colleagues a choice!
if you won’t fly it, and the EA gives you your pay rise plus a few other things, why should it bother you. Look around, the world is falling apart. We are getting a pay increase on current fleets, and the potential for a new fleet. (Yes it may end up as replacement, but look at how many promotions came about from the 744 replacement) think this virus stuff will be over in a month? You are kidding yourselves. Once again we have been f”$ed by timing. A YES gets the 350 in mainline and keeps the people like old mate away. A NO.....who knows. Am I willing to risk it with the crazy fools who will spend whatever it takes to pump up their ego running this joint...no
