Qantaslink is no longer a family or lifestyle friendly company.
With all due respect to Jarse, I think some of us pilots seem to lose perspective. I do a relatively high number of hours in the company, and I am lucky to pull around 110 hours duty in 28 days. That's around 27 hours at work per week. I know lots of people that would kill for those kind of hours in order to spend more time with the family.
While I certainly wouldn't argue that we should be getting paid less and don't deserve any more (especially for us poor buggers who have to pay Sydney rent), I can honestly say I've never worked so easy in my life. And outside those 110 odd hours, I barely ever have to think about work at all.
But I suppose the grass is always greener.
