DM - Heres a thought- instead of saying that we all need a holiday - why don't you just realise that the majority of us here want to get paid properly for the job we do that involves many sacrifes and responsibilities.
With the profits that QF make, and will continue to make - there is hardly a requirement to "slash and burn" conditions of service to levels that Impulse have successfully attained.
What your failing to see, and speak to anyone that has been around long enough - is that your mob, via your ACC arm were the ones who started the practice of pay for training and exploitation of willing pilots who had missed out with other airlines - FACT.
I keep saying it - give a GA operator jets and overnight they turn into wellsprings.
And as for your mates that think QF pilots are arrogant and not welcome at Jet* - thats a real shame. SAfety should come before EBA deals.
Good luck - as for Asia - well, up there, they don't prosititute. The world doesn't revolve around flying and selling your soul to the flying devil there, in the majority of places there is mutual respect and humility - barring stalag SQ.
