Keg you are terribly confused.
Leaping to the defence of Virgin Blue, are you kidding.
Only once, when QF pilots having a dig at their wages. I pointed out there was an active B Scale at QF which had put pressure on Ansett wages. What choice does a QF S/O have in accepting 737 B Scale? About as much a choice as a young bloke out of GA when he gets his first 737 job at Virgin.
Short memories but QF pilots did not see the point.
And the sanctimonious private message I received from you- " I assume you are a Virgin pilot and real proud of your airline.....blah blah....but we only want your cost base to be up around ours blah blah....so no pressure on our wages".
No, I am not and nor do I have aspirations to fly for Virgin Blue( never say never but expat life all rosey at the moment ).
My beef with QF on the table, justified and corroborated and from my vantage point of a former airline pilot with Ansett.
Professional bad manners such as backchat, dobbing and woeful and disruptive speed management by the 767 group.
I could never be accused of not having a good dig at Virgin.
I must add that Captain Steve Waugh's innings today one of the greatest I have seen. Never lost faith in you Tugga.
