Spending time at home with the kid's is so precious and no amount of over time etc is worth losing that. There will be some that see the allure of $$ and will return to chasing over time and working on their day Off etc. but I actually have faith that many won't. The 4 day work week is already being talked about and implemented in other countries outside of aviation, yet we are expected to give up more, give up more flexibility, bend over for this bigger pineapple please.
Look at the US with the great resignation. Airlines offering ridiculous salaries for pilots because people decided to walk out of the industry. Many other industries having to bolster pay to entice new blood. I hope there is change in Aus but I feel we're too selfish and apathetic to change it.
