As someone said, just get your Oz subjects and shut up. Unfortunately the goal posts will always be moved as conditions within the industry changes
Re all those “experienced” former AN captains wanting instant commands it is just wishful thinking. I don’t want to raise that dreadful 80’s something subject again, but I am sure you will find AN had an even worse discrimination policy towards the families and friends of that 80 something group. QF / VB are entitled to employ anyone they choose so I think perhaps the situation is “Terminal” (no pun) as far as many of the so called experienced AN captains are concerned, so on your bikes, stop winging and go overseas is perhaps the only realistic option now available if you want to stay flying.
Hopefully most of the younger pilots at least will, in time, get employment here with VB or QF.
