everything you say might well be true and i am pretty sure it is,,,, however,, cant say I over care,,,,, I have been paid on the 12th or 13th of every month,,, yes I am only working 9days myself this month so not a whole lot, but still taking home more than a mate of mine flying cargo for much more hours than me and he has no toilet on board! wee's in a bag.
grand scheme of things its still a good job,,, terms and conditions are maybe not as good as other airlines,, but I am well paid,, i have a rock solid rosta,, safe aircraft, work with great people, and its not really hard work at FL380 swapping radio freq every 25mins or so.
again, have a cash reserve and enjoy the Flight Levels.
