Messiah,
Maybe I was a bit harsh with you.
I agree that if you dojn't like it you can leave, and I've said that very thing to CX guys on the Fragrant Harbour forum. But, it's different there. No active trade union movement; you're in THEIR country sucking a living out of it (but not displacing locals, before somebody reminds me), and still being paid damned well.
At QF, and I think it's been said elsewhere, pilots are on near third world salaries, comparatively speaking, and to watch the execs with their snouts in the trough at your expense must be particularly galling.
AND, if you don't try to change it, then it never will change.
Call me self righteous, or a liar, or whatever you choose, but if I was in a position where I could extract huge bonuses for no reason other than I could, I wold not.
