If the plan was to kill off QF mainline, wouldn't you think AJ would be barging into FWA right now. Claiming undue financial pressure on the airline & pushing for redundancy on type. Ain't happening.
My bet is he's waiting on exact dollar figure after VR's have been exhausted to take to FWA to do exactly that.
......Flyboat as has been stated here before, the hours flown are so low because of reduced flying forced upon crew by QF. They could be utilised far far better but they aren't.
And just because J* are flying long night returns two crew doesn't mean it's safe. I know a few J* crew who were based in Darwin doing the insane two crew night marathons and they say one pilot sleeps northbound and the other southbound just to cope. Safe? No.
Just because it's legal doesn't make it safe.
"Sh*t money" isn't a personal put down its a statement that you're worth more for Gods sake. Can't you see that?
Who in their right mind pushes for LESS renumeration for their profession? Have some faith in yourself and your self worth for a change.
Ah forget it. Ignore list is less stressful than trying to reason with you.
