Flying Tiger,
By your rationale, your position as a QF Pilot should therefore be opened up to the market.
You should abandon your union protectionism and let NZ, ME and Asian based companies bid for providing tech crew to QF. More companies like JetConnect, Impulse, National Jet etc.
If there are or in the future will be (as market conditions dictate) a pool of capable people who are willing to let the market dictate a cut price service to provide safe piloting (or systems monitoring as someone else said) to QF, then you should gladly let them roll in and do so. (Perhaps they might even do it with a smile as opposed to grumpy pilots like you - much better for the customer no?)
If the QF CEO then gives himself and his cronies a nice bigger fatter bonus for doing so, you will stand on the sidelines and applaud the market forces at work?
