A word about culture for our recently ex-RAAF crew:
Years ago I was flying with an ex-RAAF pilot a couple of days after Geoff Dixon assured the F/Os that they would all be captains within five years. He was disgusted with me because I voiced my cynicism about that particular promise. That’s when I realised that he grew up working for superiors who had honour and integrity. So for those who listen to corporate managers, please understand that they are not playing by the same rules that you might think.
I don’t care either way if someone takes LWOP, but I don’t believe that leavers will be able to either leapfrog a senior or be certain of being ring-fenced from CR when the cost delta is so high. Money talks. BS walks.
