This guy really is a knob!!!
The reason that a lot of QF guys are doing less than their 900 or 1000 hrs per year is because the routes flown have been cut in half and farmed off to other entities, for example.
1. 767 freighter work is now done by EFA
2. Trans Tasman flying is now done by Jetconnect
3. A great number (and i am sure someone has the exact figures) of routes have been cannibalized by Jetstar
QF has made the mainline pilots look inefficient because THEY have given the work to other entities.
I can't remember the last time i heard about a modern car carrying 455 passengers have an engine failure that removed a great number of systems requiring you to park it at 350kmh!
