No, I just said that if safety was compromised by the airline operator for the sake of making a profit, it was plainly wrong. I didn't refer to Jetstar or Qantas in my comment, just what should exist with a compliant operator.
Additionally, I said salary was according to responsibility, but I did not say pilot skills were any less, rather to say there should be a difference in salary for what is flown and passengers carried.
