QF Second Officers paid more than Etihad and Emirates Captains, and you guys don't think pilot salaries are a problem
Yes it's all the fault of Second Officers. They wrote the contract themselves. They created the position of Second Officer themselves, and NONE of them want upgrades to window seats. They are all lazy, over entitled, overcompensated Pilots who completely control every aspect of their current predicament.
They even employed themselves en masse just 6 years ago in one of the biggest recruiting drives in the history of the company... (were they not already uncompetitive then…?)
No, Qantas Pilots have never ever offered to try and make themselves more competitive and negotiate with the management:
Again, for the mentally retarded:
Qantas not unions' fault
In a meeting in February 2011, I offered Alan Joyce a two-year pay freeze and a commitment to rewrite our certified agreement.
This was rejected out of hand. It is an ideological war and Mr Joyce needed the pilots to be able to lock the staff out in 2011 at a cost of over $200 million. There is nothing wrong with industrial relations in Australia but there is a lot wrong with management.

Qantas is going broke because of Second Officers. You heard it here first.
No, not managements fault at all. Nothing to do with them.
