As someone who has put his 17 year old daughter on a Qantas long haul flight (un-accompanied) for the past 8 years, I believe that a Qantas pilot is worth every cent that you earn. I hope you fellas believe that too.
It is me that has paid for that airfare (willingly) every year that Qantas has made a profit. What has changed?
In years past I believe that most Australians have been immensely proud of the Qantas brand.
I don't take too kindly to watching Joyce destroy my Airline. There were and are better qualified Australians that could manage this business without resorting to something that anybody could do (cutting costs).
Good Luck
