Yep very well said, as we know it’s a dynamic situation with many countries requiring different levels of stupid. Being international crew in the chief stupid countries makes life very hard. It must be a weird feeling down route as your heading to the hotel for in room quarantine while crew from xyz head to the room then out for dinner.
It simply must get better over time, the sooner the better. Jo public has no idea really of the sacrifices pilots are living, maybe people in the tourism field realise but general Jo no idea.
I have many mates that have done multiple 14 days, be it in a hotel, home or a mix, absolute respect. Yes they still have a job but the mental toll must be excruciating.
Lets just hope with QF pushing hard that the Aus gov follow suit and allow life to get back to a semblance of normal. I can’t see how anyone could begrudge QF for trying.
