i did the figures and it doesn’t add up. Why would any young pilot want to join the QF institution and be brainwashed that they are the best when there is so much on offer around the World. Network is a retirement gig I hope stays an option for a while. If an F/O looms out the window of the B737 without “link” on the side and laughs at the Captain in an A320, it’s more fool him. The skipper is probably working 2 days a week and catching a lot of fish
