PermFo, I was flying with one of your ex AN colleagues recently who related a story to me. He has a mate (ex QF SO) who is now an FO on the A330 (Jetstar) and flying to Asia as PF, he asked the captain to put in Bali on the fix page. The captains response, "Why?" The FO then said for situational awareness. The captain then asked how do you do it. The FO said put the ICAO designator in on the fix page. The captains response - "What's an ICAO designator?"
Seems the training may well be lacking.
I've also had the experience of totally being ignored by Jetstar pilots even though I've said hello to them.
