TB: You are exhibiting the classic signs of bullet point number one, delusional believes about self-importance, the taunting that I was rejected by QF, big noting yourself about how hard it is to join QF. Really just the mantra ,we are elite , we are special , we are icons - and as special pilots we deserve special dollars, and special deals.
As I said in an earlier post the delusion of QF pilots and their own importance is exhibited by the fact the have gatecrashed the Anzac Day parade, because they did charter flights to Saigon !
The T & Cs of QF pilots , FAs, Tradesmen are so far beyond the mark, the best airline managers in the world couldn't help you now.
The pay of QF pilots is everyone's business, because you guys attempted to fleabag the Govt for a few billion of taxpayer dollars, to prop up your failing business. And no doubt will attempt another parasitic raid on the Australian taxpayer funds.
It is no secret that QF LH has been the party boy fleet for the 2000s, will a well entrenched bludger culture and a real aversion to doing any work. For a few years the 330 crews were doing very little flying, as the A/C were handed over to Jetstar. Then the A380 boys as a small fleet, and especially while there was a lot of training going on pretty much did jack sh*t for a few years and still picked up the big $$. Extra long layovers (twice other airlines) , double the cash allowance of other airlines, taking an SO always - even on four hour sectors , pattern protection , many guys maxing out sick leave.
Really did you think it was going to last forever ? , did you really believe that ?
Did you really think that it could continue ? The fact that a Jestar FO who works O/T to almost max hours just makes over $200K whereas his QF counterpart exceeds $300K for significantly less hours.
Why would they offer a generous voluntary redundancy ? Firstly they can't afford one, and secondly they will just move to CR anyway where they can really zero in on some of the problem children.
