"Sounds like you were on the same cadet course together...."

Not me, I did years in GA, and I don’t work for QF.

"It does not cost JQ pilots anything to upgrade to command....(wrong again wit!!!!)"

Refer to page 43 of your certified agreement, "Command upgrade on a previously endorsed aircraft $15,000", it is the line below $33,000 for the initial rating.

"Jq pilots can fly 1000 hours a year....(wrong again wit!!!)"

That is not part of the JQ certified agreement, and I might add that a CAO 48 exemption is not listed with CASA for Jetstar.(http://www.casa.gov.au/rules/exempt/index.htm)

"Most guys flying in my base around 6-7 hrs a day, and when I times that by 15 it equals 90+ (wrong again wit) Therefore earning an extra 1500-2500 a month for 10 months of the year...and guess that is around $100000"

It is not the amount you fly, it is what you are schedule to fly. The JQ certified agreement does not have you working only 10 months a year. If you do more than 75 hrs a month this year, it means next year you will be restricted, as I clearly said in my post, “sustained”.

"Rostered for 10 rdo's a month plus days free of duty, usually around 2-3, (see above!!!!)"

That is not part of the JQ certified agreement. JQ pilots under their agreement only get 9 days off at your home base in 6 roster periods, and 10 days off in 6 roster periods, so in 6 roster periods 19 days off, of which half at your home base, that is in your agreement para 25.1.3.

"You can say what you like about JQ pilots, most are very happy...home every night, great family life and guess what, I can pay my bills."

Are they ? why are so many leaving ?

"You compare JQ FO's to 74 FO's....it takes years at QF to get a spot on the 74 as an FO, so compare apples with apples...we are not QF pilots.."

May I ask when I made such a comparison ?

"I knocked back at job at QF recently because I don't want to sit in the back seat for the next 5+ years..my choice, yes some QF SO's get paid more..but it's not always about that....I don't need a silver spoon in my mouth."

You just said a few posts up that you are being paid more than a QF SO.

"JQ is a LCC with lower cost base with lower wages across the board, in time pilots wages will rise along with the looming pilot shortage, and by then I'll be a Captain and you two will be still putting the Captain charts away whilst saying "what else can I do for you CAPTAIN!!!)"

You have no idea what I do, or who I work for. I have worked most areas in GA from instructing, freight, charter, aeromedical…before I did airline flying.

"You two continually post absolute crap, you may have read the EBA, but by looking at your maths skills I don't need to ask how you came up with JQ pilots needing to pay for upgrades..."

Have I ? I have read the JQ certified agreement, and I have made reference to it, the person who seems unaware of its actual contents is you.

"Maybe when Daddy paid for the Cadet course he should have enrolled you in extra maths and english lessons....."

I was not a cadet...

"Until you get your facts right don't bother slandering things you absolutley know nothing about."

Use words that you know the meaning of...and learn to spell.
