mmm, Ramboflyer hit it on the head.
A BIG can of worms... given those in Nopulse may be lacking HSC and either already failed, OR have not completed Stage 1 and 2 QF Entry Testing and Sims... ???
I can see why QLink cry foul!

I would just like to know how many of the current pilot's at Qantas mainline don’t/did not have to meet the entry requirements given that when Qantas took over Australian airlines that at the time, was made up of some very dubious people who accepted positions in Australian airlines literally over the phone, no psychology test no skills test etc
Where is all the efficiency with this free seating idea?
You check-in and instead of getting a boarding pass with a seat, you get a boarding pass with a sequence number. No saving there.
At the gate, the staff would have to be very vigilant to ensure your boarding sequence pass is valid for the flight and you are not boarding out of sequence to avoid a sh@t fight onboard. A card reader would be faster, error proof, more secure and the F/A's wouldn't have to move people about to ensure trim.
There may be savings for a start up with the technology investment, but when you can nick it off big brother, where's the saving?
DJ are already highlighting seat allocation in their ads.
I suspect this idea will be among the first changes to the business model that will blow the budget with the reinvestment costs.

Didnt do the HSC. You guys are kidding yourselves if you think that most guys in the pulse are uneducated. But of course sweeping generalisations are the next best thing to facts arent they chocks away?
On a interseting note. Did any one see the article in the herald sun on the weekend about the ex QF pilot who set up a site which sounded alot like the official J* site.
He was pushing anit QF propoganda. He was apparently sacked some years ago because of mental illness, and is still dirty. Obsessive Compulsive I think it was.
Entry tests? mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Give me a guy that has common sence and can actually fly any day over a HSC weilding cone head.

Spelling Man and his trusty sidekick Punctuation Boy, alerted by the emergency Spell Signal, rush to view a catastrophic scene at Dunnunda.
SM: "My God Punctuation Boy, I just hope we aren't too late! Hand me the heavy duty Webster's..."
Propaganda: n systematic efforts to spread opinions or beliefs.
Sense: n Good judgement, intelligence
Wielding: v Holding and using.
PB:" Looks like Douglas accidentally won the argument for Chocks Away? ...hah hah."
SM: "Steady on, my firm buttocked buddy, our only function here is to ensure that spelling justice... is done!"
PB: "Sorry Spelling Man, I guess it is my turn over the barrel again tonight?"
SM: " Hmmm, We'll see what Alfred wants to do...anyway, our work here is done...AWAY!"
