First post here, but have read for some time and could not stand back without commenting.
I'm curious, what is the purpose in passing comment on the Qantas pilots contracts? Why is this is a peculiar colloquialism of Australian pilots?
Similarly, why the need to continually denigrate managers? Many of these people are highly qualified individuals who, like the pilots, want the company to grow and prosper. Most managers earn far less than mainline pilots, notwithstanding that there are some at the very top of the organisation whose earnings make headlines. Surely most rational people realise that those earnings are the exception?
Managers do not sit up at midnight posting crap about pilots, the vast majority respect the crew and the job they do. Why is that not reciprocated?
