How to identify QF Group Pilots when leaving the Perth Terminal at 10am:
Mainline:
Have jacket and hat on (38 degree day) and are on their phone being told to go back to the aircraft for a 3 day East Coast trip which they enthusiastically agree too.
NAA:
Still in Paraburdoo with a broken Fokker awaiting the 4pm flight to get them home which will also break down. Have turned their shirt inside out as they had no clean clothes from their unscheduled overnight in Telfer the night before.
NJS:
Landed 45 mins ahead of schedule as contractors don’t pay attention to fuel burn. Halfway through an emu on their boat on the way to rotto with the family. Refused to operate an extra leg to rescue Fokker in Paraburdoo.
Do what’s best for you and your family.
*I believe the NJS guys may no longer be enjoying beers on rotto since the hostile takeover.
