Think your question has been answered, 34. I certainly admit that I've no idea until now.
The point that I'm trying to make though, is that the system is for right here, right now. Those 20+ Captains are there whether we like it or not.
One of the main reasons that this is WRONG, is because those pilots in Jetstar who have been knocked back for QF, and are now symbolically working for QF, but on a very different pay scale.
So, why is it that these guys are acceptable to QF, but only on a lower pay scale?
Does anyone see anything RIGHT in this?
