Re: Qantas Seniority Joke
The position you achieve in aviation is generally based on good (or bad) fortune! Nothing to do with experience whatsoever.
TL quotes a regional skipper now junior to his trainee FO. Boo Hoo!
I have numerous friends who achieved airline positions during the 80 & 90's, and I missed out! It was a lonely feeling. Now I still have a job in Australia and most of them are overseas, some doing well for themselves, some doing it hard, some not even flying. Now I don't feel so bad about missing out all those years ago.
It's just good luck, not good management! That's the way the industry works, whether we like it or not!
