If he doubled pilots salaries would there be a shortage of pilots at Qantas? Of course not!
Would there be a shortage of pilots at Qantas? Obviously not. But there
would be at the
other airlines, you nincompoop.
But of course your example is flawed: rest assured, there is no "shortage" of pilots willing to work at Quantas at existing pay scales. Despite your own frequently-trotted out hang-ups and personal neuroses about the national flag-carrier, Quantas is still typically seen as the pinnacle in this country for motivated and suitably-educated pilots.
Manning has
not been quoted as saying Qwantas will suffer due to this "shortage". He refers to the industry and regionals in particular.

I thought you were smart. Obviously the pilot workforce (typically) migrate "upwards" in terms of job-standrads and finish up in the "majors". When GA companies have to
advertise for a B58 pilot, turbine operators are offering
FIFO arrangements and regionals are
cancelling flights due to lack of crew, I would suggest to you that there is a real shortage of pilots.
Are you seriously suggesting pilots have decided to go elsewhere rather than work for Qwannus? If so, then where?
Signal-to-noise ratio, Sunfish.........
On the topic of quotes:
a crisis “bigger than the airline strike of 1989..."
I hope those weren't really his words. Did the "airlines" actually go on strike in '89??? What a f***wit.
the industry needed to put pressure on airlines and governments to find a solution.
The solution will be the import of foreign labour.
