Not jealous Basil and certainly not management, just concerned that the company is going to hell in a hand basket and the current DPS arrangement, in my opinion, is helping it along the way.
I had my stint at VAI when it originally was set up and came back about 6 months ago of my own volition.
Not sure why my remarks would have you accuse me of creating some sort of divide among the pilot group, the hours I spoke of were reflective of every roster example I have been shown by the crew involved.
Don't be so defensive, it was just an opinion...not an accusation.
I was also confused by the jealousy remarks. Your post seemed fairly accurate from what I'm also hearing.
The Bali flights are doing very well, business class and economy are usually mostly full and tickets are not cheap. Have a look online at ticket prices and see for yourself.
This sounds more like "management" comments, polishing a turd so to speak!
