So you went to a BBQ. There were people at it. Oh, yeah, that's right - there are unfortunately a small number of senior Qantas captains who have already seen the good times, will retire fairly soon, and could not give a teeny weeny sh** about what will happen to those of us who have many years to go! (yeah I've actually spoken to a couple of them, and it's a depressing experience)
