Its good to see one of your informative posts again, you must be such a joy to work with.
Thanks for that insight!
I'm sure your fellow pilots all agree with you comments, and we will be sure to support the pilots as much as we can industrially!
Your comments go a long way in fostering unity amongst us!

Oh I see, interesting point!
You have just confirmed what Geoff and everyone knows! Its going to be mighty hard for the drivers to get another job, you have only been trained for one thing therefore you will settle for anything they put on the table!
Others in the industry have a choice, Bend over or Go!
I think the drivers will have to bend over, but this time there will be no KY!

Well well.... why am I not surprised at the arrogance shown on this thread by the self serving Qantas Tech crew.
The Jet star Boys are finally teaching you brats some humility.
As someone else posted here,YOU aren't trained for anything else,its all you know! easier for management to reduce your wages to your true value.
Remember natures law, if you don't diversify you wont survive,you don't adapt you will become extinct.
You arrogance over the years has finally come to fruition,your disdain for other QF employees and other Pilots from other airlines has built an in credible lack of respect!
Even now in your most desperate hours all you can do is denigrate other employees profession.
Jet star boys, believe me there are a lot of QF employees that welcome you.

Geez some people have some pent up agro against QF drivers. I wonder how much all these people contribute to the national heart attack statistics. Given that the majority of comments on PPRUNE by the QF drivers such as Borg, myself, Sopwith Pup (where has he gone by the way), Transition Layer and others has generally acknowledged that QF drivers don't consider themselves any 'better' than anyone else. I'm stuffed if I understand why people are so quick to want to tear us down! My sources suggest that a percentage of those on this forum who proclaim to be QF drivers and carry on like pork chops are not in fact QF drivers at all.
The other thing I find amazing is what EBD alludes to is the desire to see the 'tall poppy' (pay and conditions folks, I'm not assuming any airs and graces about skill!
) taken down a peg. Very sad.
Finally, the thing that most amazes me is the lack of thought put into the insults. I mean surely you can come up with a better insult than 'brats' and calling us 'arrogant' Acars747? Surely that's not your best effort! If it is then you wouldn't cut it on a QF flight deck. You need to be FAR more insulting than that to survive. The next thing you'll be trying is 'I know you are but what am I?' Seriously, you need to do some work and step it up from the second class level you're at. I know some Collingwood supporters, they may help; most of them reached third grade (most of them probably did it three or four times!
). Failing that, I'll give you the contact number for the Barmy Army. They seem to know how to think up a half decent insult!

Poor old Keg is really scraping the bottom of the barrell. Fancy casting aspersions on the followers and supporters of one of Australia's greatest sporting clubs! Does he realise that Aussie Rules cuts across ecery socio-economic group in the country, unlike Rugby Union, Rugby League or Soccer? By comparing them with some of the tossers here, he has insulted some of the country's finest and best.

Please don't misinterpret my comments as a sledge against the fine followers of the great game. I'm a 24 1/2 year long suffering veteran of the 'ugly ducklings' that finally took flight last year- even umpired the little league games in '85-'87. I just felt that ACARS767 needed some real lessons in how to hurl insults and who better to learn from than a Pies supporter!

ACARS747 sounds like one of those Impulse 1900/717 drivers that live in their sheltered little enclave in Jetstar. The same guys that loath and backstab the ex Ansett guys for wanting to raise the bar and improve the standard at Jetstar, knowing full well that the next sim they do, may be a bit harder and out of the protective realm of their Impulse buddies.
The only thing the Jetstar "boys" can teach the rest of the Qantas group, or industry in general is how to be an Aero Club operating Jets and how to sell yourself out from poor advice and pressure from management and the JPC.

Sorry all, have to agree with Acars, Pete has been smoking crack again.
Raising the bar, for some of the post 89ers, would be a pretty tall order considering some of them could'nt pass a command check pre 89, what was that about an aero club Pete

On or around the 24th of May Qantas will be making an announcement which will cause a great deal of concern to the Mainline flight crew body.
Dare I say it will be the greatest test ever of the solidarity of Qantas' Pilots as they scramble to save their bacon. You are about to learn just how much those senior brothers really care.

So what's the rumour Mulder? That post isn't worth the electrons it's chewed up to show on my screen.
Bolty, if that's true, and it's the first I've heard, under the current EBA, which QF can't touch, pilots will have to be retrained to other fleets. The Flight Engineers will generally be made redundant - although some of them have to be offered other jobs (including flying jobs if they've got a reserved seniority number) - and most of the F/Es who've taken redundancy packages have cleaned up to the tune of about 300-400k.
