Gnadenburg you can try (yet again) to turn this into another us versus them thread. I aint interested mate. Someone asked a question and I furnished a very abbreviated answer.
You obviously do not know all the facts. Many of us came back with endorsements. We were subsequently promised that we had to endure a "start up pay" but things would improve in the near future. We are still waiting.
Flamingmoe, I suggest you think very carefully about coming home mate. Things may improve in the future but God knows when. The rosters are a disgrace. The pay is ordinary to say the least and the training is non existant. I believe we have the lowest standards in Oz. Pay for your own endorsements are simply wrong. The results can be seen on line daily.
And yes Soutwest and others do pay their pilots MORE than established carriers, so (CASPER) it has NOTHING to do with LCC's. That is dreary management propoganda. If the company is managed properly, good pay is not a problem.
