Three things.
1. Employers Social Media Policy
2. Vomit Inducing stuff (weddings, new pet dog)
3. Largely not realistic

In regards to the last point, you have people showing off on the Instagram, then comes the media articles ‘Australian Pilots melts hearts’, all like they are some form of hero. Meanwhile they couldn’t pass the 737 sim or can barely fly a hand approach.

It seems like the QLink CP didn’t have much patience with a previous employee, I’m amazed JS lets all this nonsense from one of his employees roll on. It’s a break of the Social Media policy if you ask me, so if it’s my pilot body, it’s either the insta or the job. Pick one. Otherwise pack your bags and take it to some Vietnam low cost who probably don’t give two ****s.
