Flyingins, how do you justify those Impulse pilots who have previously FAILED the Qantas selection process, in many cases more than once? I believe that the point that guys like Pete are trying to make is exactly that, not just that they should all be tested now (a clearly ridiculous idea which you are pushing to save your own sorry @rse no doubt).
How is it that these people are not good enough on one pay scale, but you drop that down to less than half, and suddenly they are OK? Naaaahhhhh. Sorry, but that just don't wash.
And guys like you will tell me that the Qantas selection process MUST be flawed because YOU didn't pass, right? It is ALWAYS the defence of the narcissistic. Sorry, but Pete Conrad has a valid point, one which the travelling public are clearly ignorant of.
