"Geoff Dixon and Alan Joyce are not pushovers and will try to pay pilots as little as they possibly can be it JQ or QF."
As apposed to the managers at other airlines that are just pushovers and cave into the ransom demands made by pilots?
"Our capital cities are not as cheap as they used to be and neither is schooling or health care for a family."
As apposed to other countries around the world? Do you think this argument is unique to Australia?
"Regardless of this "spin" that someone else will do it if you don't, it remains a fact that Jetstar is underpaid on a world average."
Wow, you have undergone the task of averaging pilot income levels worldwide! Did you include the majority of airlines that pay less than Jetstar or did you cunningly select the few that pay more?
