Good luck with your fight chaps.
Thanks.

I can see the angst GT has caused, but isn't it true, ie, don't QF pilots and engineers get paid considerably more than virgin et al in Aus, and more than competitors overseas. Im just saying. After all it is hard to rally public support against QF, GT and others, if in fact his claims in that interview are true.
No they do not get more than overseas competitors. Virgin dont compare, because they don't fly similar types... Inefficient managament of these guys is the problem. They are not flying to their full potential, yet getting paid for it. The reason is over establishment. This is not the fault of the pilots, but incompetant managers, who yet again, have stuffed it all up, but rather than accept blame, they put it on the pilots. Madness.
