If I was cashed up from an overseas gig I personally would not be in a job where I have to wake up at 0300 on a regular basis. For most rational folks the whole reason you get yourself into a strong financial position is so you don’t have to do that. But pilots are not always rational……
They probably just like flying aeroplanes and whilst financially secure, the industry may have a different perspective to what an Aussie mortgage battler may be experiencing and aspiring for.
I empathise. I had the similar frustrations when Virgin Blue pilots entered the scene.
Abusing Network pilot here, just proves what industrial eunuchs many are.
