Amen the shovel.
As for "just wait guys, It'll happen to other group companies" bla bla bla.
I doubt it. The other groups are paid the market rate. If anything below it. QF in most instances are well above it. Yes I'd love a QF roster and salary. We all would. It's not going to happen, and that's why the capital went where it went. Remember, it's not just the Pilots enjoying above market conditions. When coupled with all the add ons and dead weight, it's pretty substantial.
As for the rest. I remember sitting down with a senior group manager and asking why the expansion is in Jetstar (787) and not Qantas. The reply was the Jetstar pilot group costs 50 million less for the same safety data. Meaning why are we paying Qantas pilots 50 million more, for no more measurable increase in safety.
I'd prefer to earn less and know the company was viable and expanding, than earn more and have no progression and no future.
