b737800capt06, on the assumption that you are not a wind-up merchant, it was one of the 'world's best ATPL trained pilots' that played through to the golf course at the end of 21L at BKK some years ago.
QF also inherited pilots of questionable morality from Australian Airlines after 'that year'.
There are highly competent pilots, including many Australian ATPL holders, flying for airlines other than QANTAS, especially in Asia.
Your post reeks of the 'QF lobotomy' that is folklore in the industry.
