What's with this stupid comparison with a Perth Bus Driver? It took me 20 years to gain the skills, experience and judgement to operate in the left seat of a passenger jet for the QANTAS group. Thousands of hours of study, hundreds of hours of assessment in the simulator, I have lost track of how many exams, medicals, ground schools, line checks, christ my licence cost more than a new Porsche cost at the time,It took me most of my 20's to pay for it ! The stress, the drive, focus, ambition, risk and sacrifice don't compare to any job let alone a Perth bus driver ! Network pilots get it - fight for what you are worth. F*** the greedy bastards in QF management trying to rip me off ! I would rather watch the place go bankrupt.
