The likes of Qantas get away with what they do because there's a seemingly endless supply of pilots who'll accept whatever crap conditions are dished up, in the hope that 'eventually' the company - or presumably the FWC - will 'do the right thing'. There should be a unit called "Child-Like Naivety" in the CPL/ATPL syllabus.
You're just factors in production to the beancounters. The beancounters therefore spend their days trying to get as many of you commodities as cheaply as practicable.
In recent years the standard of training at NAA has been of a very high calibre, making it an excellent stepping stone. A lot of those trainers, as well as your mentor types, have recently put in their resignation notice, so that enticement is under threat. I’m not saying that alone will lead to a flood of resignations but the glue resisting the strain of a highly dysfunctional workplace is coming unstuck before our eyes. This looks like one of those problems that starts off slow but accelerates rapidly.
