“we’re all in this together” they said. Absolute BS.
Your frustration of Network now operating Perth to Darwin has nothing to do with McGowan's quarantine requirements, they are two seperate issues.
If Perth 737 crew were stood down then its because they were not needed at that time. If Network crew weren't, then they were needed to do whatever it is they were doing.
I'd go further to say the Perth to Darwin flying doesn't belong to QF mainline anymore than it belongs to Network.
The pilots job is to fly the plane where and when told to, not to imply a right to a particular route because thats what he/she has become accustomed to.
