Well, I could imagine some would possibly take a pay cut to come "home" from O/S, but do you think many left QF/AN/ANZ to go to DJ?
I accept that the difference between DJ & ANZ's crew situations is that DJ crews were well aware of the conditions upon joining, whereas ANZ crews are being $crewed by their management..(been there, done that!)... It's just that some posters here quite enjoy pointing out AN's demise was due, in part, to unsustainable wages and that's why DJ succeeded AN. Yet, bemoan the fact that when an airline is trying to cut costs (again, I'm not supporting the act or the method) through it's wage bill, people are up in arms.
Whilst you guys are at the pointy end, to management, you're just another number like the bloke that cleans the $hitter!
