Genex, QF are the only airline in the world who carry 2 second officers as part of the crew complement. Cathay and Air NZ carry one s/o and 2 f/o's. BA, United, Emirates and others all carry a heavy 4 crew complement of 2 Captains and 2 F/O's.

By the admission of management at various briefings in years gone by, the total crewing cost of operating a heavy long haul (4 pilot crew) is significantly cheaper for Qantas than most major carriers due to our ability to carry second officers.

Then here you stand and bleat about how overpaid QF crews are. No wonder the industry is heading to where it is. It is your attitude which is the cancer in this industry.
