Network manages. Jetconnect manages.

Get rid of the ticket system and the airline dictates who progresses and who doesn't, we know where that ends regard to conditions.
Correct. I'm not a struggler.

I love that you think seniority is somehow protection against cronyism or nepotism. Just shows you have absolutely zero understanding of JQ and its makeup.

According to you, the FO has no right to be there. Make up your mind.

Mate was recently paid $100k to ferry a tug to Singapore, couple of weeks work, back to early retirement.
No, you clearly said that people applying to JQ and other airlines should literally give up their careers to go dig holes.

"And this is the self centered attitude I'm talking about, in a country where you could go dig a hole for $100k a year, you persist at a sub conditions job just because YOU want to. That degrades the conditions for all"

So, let me understand you; You're happy for people to spend 100 grand learning to fly, but they must quit immediately after so as to not endanger your super?

Explain it to me. When precisely is a young person allowed to apply for Jetstar so that they don't receive your condemnation of their 'self centered' attitudes?

This will be good.
