Fellow Pilots
I totally agree with the issues,I'm not personally affected by all this,however I do strongly feel that the conditions in Australia for pilots right across the board should be improved.
My personal view would be to expose the safety issues to the public,to force the people pulling the strings to act positively. I wouldn't be happy sitting in the back of an aeroplane knowing the pilots up front aren't operating at their best as they have personal things on their minds,ie financial pressures,family problems and career progression concerns all due to their management team hiring foreign pilots.
For those who don't agree with me,just ask any Jetstar or Virgin Blue FO how they feel about this issue.
