Well gentlemen and ladies, make a big, ballsy decision.
If you don't like what's happening in aviation - then leave.
Change jobs.
Sell your house.
Move states, or even countries.
I did all three in 2011 after having taken a gamble late in life, changed industries and did a two year exec MBA (self funded, and I'm not rich or young).
As a result I have come close to tripling my income and have a job that is very interesting.
So it can be done.
If you're smart enough to get an ATPL, or complete an A,B,C or D check on a widebody then you can do it too.
Good luck.
That misses the point entirely. The issue is that Qantas has been deliberately destroyed. To the people that have cared greatly for 'The Company' over the last 95+ years it is incredibly sad to see it wrecked by a group of incompetent blow-ins. It would be a bit like watching Makybe Diva win her last Melbourne Cup with a Vet at the winners podium waiting to put her down. Except that would be better, a quick painless death rather than this constant years old death by a thousand cuts.
