P2T2, you have sprayed a lot of sh88 here, and whilst it makes interesting reading, can someone please explain the following:
Given that according to the learned comments on this forum, we are in the grip of a world wide pilot shortage, and given that apparently, every other airline in the world is paying so much better;
Why is it that from all accounts (friends I have in J*) very few JQ pilots have left for these greener pastures?
Additionally, as far as I am aware, everyone gets paid overnight allowances and having seen several JQ domestic captain group certificates average salary appears to be around AUD155K (including O/T and not O/N allow.) which would, all things being equal equate to approx. $172K 'ish for a JQI captain.
Still have not come across one guy who has his days off upline either.
Will have to wait unitl end of 06-07 financial year to assess JQI group certificaes, but this seems to be the way it is panning out.
