You can always do things more efficently. The consequence is the possibility of a loss of jobs to the companies lost through the natural selection process (take a look around), reduced working conditions and wages (take another look), and reduced service (inflight, etc). It's been said before, you get what you pay for, and it't the mentality of 'we have been ripped off for years' that is going to bite our industry in the bum. But that's life.
By the way, my 2.2 cents worth is that would it not be good to see current QF drivers seen flying these planes? If anything it could save money for QF in the long run, be a good marketing tool, and aviod a heap of industrial action (that we see other sections in the company are contemplating already) and ensure that the erosion of working conditions are halted for future pilots. I know I'll get the usual QF bashers (wannabes?) out in force, but hell, I could have said 'wasn't it a lovely day', and someone will reply...'Die QF die!
And..I'm sorry for any bad spelling, grammar, etc....
And, I have nothing against any religion or sexual orientation...
Have I covered all bases?
