Tartare,
You make some good points but your obvious disdain (or perhaps insecurity) towards Qantas pilots tends to undermine those points.
p.s. Can we come back in the future and ask how your secure LNG job is going
after Asia has renegotiated the inflated (and industry handicapping) Australian
gas rates ($/mbtu) downwards and processing has been moved to floating LNG and your still working for a company that spent way too much building onshore LNG processing plants at the height of a resources boom?
