If you don't give a ****, imagine if you were living in some 3rd world corrupt ****hole or a country that is racist and makes you feel 2nd class? Yet you are still not happy in Australia.
Take a reality check.
The reality is the pilot profession has been undermined by IR policies, outsourcing and inflation. You’re saying that pilots should
“be happy” with having a job in Australia. It’s that type of surrender-monkey attitude that brings a tear (of laughter) to the eye of the HR boffins stalking this site. How did we ever make it out of the coal mines on 0.30c a day?
When you say “3rd world corrupt ****hole of a country that is racist”, could you narrow it down a bit because there’s quite a bit of competition? Australia has 3rd world infrastructure, a smidge of corruption and might be a teeny weeny bit racist some would argue. Throw us a bone. Maybe we should just accept that and go for a decent pay rise instead eh?
Any management mug (or pilot sympathiser) that tosses out the adage “Well if you don’t like it, leave” will cop the retort “Why should I leave because you can’t do YOUR job?”
