but the rumoured attitude proffered by Di Vosh regarding the transition of prop drivers to jets isn't something that was prevalent in 2007.
With the greatest of respect I beg to differ. I heard it on more than one occasion in 2008 during my training, and the Captains I flew with at that time said it was a common sentiment.
I'd also point out that any bias (perceived or real) from Qantas to QantasLink is more likely to be heard by QantasLink pilots than by Qantas pilots.
I'll also point out that I'm not saying that this was Qantas policy at the time. But it was the PERCEPTION of Qantas policy.
And as they say, perception is reality.
DIVOSH!
