Warren9 and Packs On
You guys are kidding yourselves. Apathy is not just confined to the ex 1900 drivers. As I see it there is 5 groups of pilots in Jetstar, if you want to think that way.
-ex 1900 drivers
-ex 717 drivers that had overseas Jet experience and never flew the 1900
-the initial Jetstar management pilots and mates (ex Ansett post dispute).
-other ex Ansett post dispute pilots that eventually got in (not the chief pilot mates)
-pre 89ers that finally got a chance to come home after the above two groups
-newbys GA/Qlink/Rex etc
It would be nice if we could at least consider ourselves as one group of pilots "Jetstar pilots" as we push forwards to be one group of pilots "Qantas group pilots"
In my opinion they are all as pathethic as each other in the "I am alright thanks Jack" stakes, but slowly things are changing. I am begining to realise that it is simply in pilots nature to look after number one no matter what company they previously or currently work for, very disappointing.
