Gnads,
SQ pay captains for oz basings about $180000. CX pax fleet pay even more. Whey do you think VS would be paying $69000. Pretty significant difference.
Your argument appears to revolve around the concept of denying people the right to make career decisions for reasons that differ to yours. Some people don’t rate “Multi currency loans” and “CGT advantages” as highly as things such as clean air, for example.
