Again, looking from outside Aus what a lot of nastiness amongst fellow pilots.
Having gone through this process in UK you have to accept if your airline costs more to run than it makes, then cost cutting happens. Or you go bust.
As for the notion here that LCC crew are somehow inferior. They go through the same training, the same ratings and qualifications and usually fly newer equipment.
In Europe they probably have a safety record better than the Legacy carrier. For example the much PPrune denigrated Ryanair operate hundreds of sectors a day, some to airfields without ILS etc and have an almost unblemished safety record .apart from the odd incident which is to be accepted in any operation.
Grow up fellas times change.
