You clearly have little understanding of how Government works.

No Federal Minister or Senator would be remotely interested or have the time available to read a laundry list of complaints from a laborer annoyed about the wonders of free market capitalism.

The only office coverage such a letter will get is at the end of the day when it provides light relief for the aids and advisors as they recall the last time a group of pilots cried about how nasty the airlines were being to them.

It is not the Governments job to force industry to be nice to you. If Jetstar require an application fee and you object to it, don’t join. Move overseas where you will be treated with respect (ever worked for an airline in the US?) and apparently you can earn $240,000 as a first officer. Bravo.

“Pilots in Australia are now faced with a different outlook than in the past.”

There are those that make things happen.
There are those that things happen to.
There are those that say what happened.

Which are you?
