Its a pity Senator X didn't pursue the question about the Singapore incident with MR (either one) about what happened to the crew post incident. The Captain was sacked and the F/O was taken off line duties for 3 months even though he did what was required of him! I also liked the bit where BB said there was not a Base Manager in Perth and MR had to step in and contradict him.
I think AJ decided that he was going to be a bit more belligerent this time as he kept butting in on questions involving J* and Qantaslink. Doesn't he trust his subordinates to not put their foot in their mouth?
If Jetstar have an issue with pilots and F/As going before the Senate to express their concerns then BB only has himself to blame. AJ wrote a letter to the J* pilots about AIPA in 2007 at the time of another Senate enquiry into the Qantas Sale Act where the then head of AIPA was trying to paint a picture of sub-standard pilots within J*. AJ had the full support of the pilot group. Now BB writes a similar rant against AIPA but AIPA have 2/3 membership of the J* pilot group! Why? Because through his decisions the pilots have realised that by being passive we are giving him a green light to do whatever he wants to our working conditions and careers.
