QF, AN, and Virgin drivers:
It is time for a BIG reality check.
I was a Captain earning what I considered to be reasonable money for the job I was doing, RPT, jet.
I have been made redundant twice in the past six months.
I have not had ONE AN, QF or Virgin aircrew offer me condolences, offer to help or get the Federation on my/our side.
If you people are to be believed we should all stick together and fly the flag for our RIGHTFUL conditions. $150,000.00 to $ 400,000.00, plus as far as I can figure.
Let me tell you gentlemen, I have been doing the most menial and degrading of jobs, for $13.00/hr to keep food on the table, to give my graduating son the schoolies week he so richly deserved, to provide Christmas pressies for the young ones.
Your attitude sickens me.
I think your gravy train is about to go into the tunnel and will not come out the other end.
I will fly an RPT jet for $90,000.00 p/a., and I can. Be it 73,74,76 etc. It beats the hell out of what I have had to do just to survive.
Get your hand off it people!!
