“You would get ultra light pilots flying jumbos for $30kpa”

Why do you think this would occur?

Like employes at most legacy carriers, QF pilots do not operate in the real labor market. Jetstar/Tiger/Virgin pilots probably do. Almost.

But dont let the market forces of the real labor market scare you. The market is fully capable of paying pilots high salaries. Have you ever seen a 777/A330 contract offered for “$30kpa”? No, I dont think so.

“aircraft incidents,accidents and loss of hulls and life would rise exponentially.”

Really. Simply because of pay levels. Wow, now thats a novel argument. How do you explain FedEx then?
