I have to agree pretty much with Clarie. Who is that happy with their lot that they don't complain?
Cunning, most of what you say I agree with 100%, what I get sick of is hearing it over and over again, since you used to kick cows in fact.
We know NJS management are F%&^*g useless, we also know Jetstar are not much better, if at all.
The biggest difference being Jetstar have QF's resources to use, NJS have next to none.
There is a good chance the pilot Clarrie speaks of trained you.
He is not a junior F/O with Virgin, quite the opposite and I suspect you would hold him in very high regard as most if not all NJS's do.
He was lucky enough to have left before the Admiral and his mob took over, how ever their (the admiral etc) life span in management is finite like every one elses, infact the admirals may be drawing to a close as we speak and not just his management position!
Hope the rest follow soon after.
Being a bit deceptive with this comment aren't we?
I have worked for more than one jet operator.
A metro Captain for a night freight operator I believe?
