I can’t believe Daddy QF hasn’t stepped in to ground them - before CASA do.
When they stick one in the side of a hill with Qantas colours all over it, you can guarantee Joe Blow Public has never heard of “National Jet” and the damage to the main brand will be incredible.
Seems it’s time to wrap up the B717 operation NOW, transfer the remaining crew to mainline ASAP, and bring the A220 in house before the inevitable happens.
While I’ve never worked for NJS, I agree with some of the military comments. Some of the best, most competent, nicest people I’ve flown with were ex RAAF.
But throughout my career they have also been over-represented in the worst 10% I’ve flown with. Transport/maritime guys generally nice guys with a lot less dick swinging and better ability to work in a team.
Why management would sit idly by as they employ each other incestuously into the C&T system and push all their FOs out the door - I’ll never understand.
