I still don't get why you would wait to get a job there when there have been 200,000 posts in 6 months on that very company.
I don't understand why people smoke but they do.

Senate Inquiry for 31 Mar 2011 on FOXTEL
For those interested, the Senate Inquiry into Pilot Training and Airline Safety for Thursday 31 March 2011 can be seen on FOXTEL (APAC Channel). So, if you have FOXTEL and want to sit back and watch it on TV (record it, if you have the facility), instead of watching on a computer - that's the way to go! It commences at 0900 AEST

Just logged on to the APH feed. Unable to attend in person today 
, but looking forward to it all the same. The screen is offset somewhat! Hope they fix it up prior to the main event. Don't want to miss any facial expressions from the main protagonists! 
I noticed JG will be there. Not surprising as he was the Jetstar head of safety at the time of the 2007 Melb Go-around incident. After that he was promoted to QF Head of safety! Funny old World?
Armchairs and popcorn folks.

That's what I was thinking.
Employee A works 6 hours a week, employee B works 48. Still averages 27 hours a week.
I would be irked if I was cabin crew and heard the CEO say I 'only' worked 27 hours a week. The whole CC argument seemed to be swept under the rug after that.
Tag flights now, hopefully this is going where I think it is...

Inquiry
Buchanan seems to refer quite heavily to average statistics. As has been stated before.
Quite disappointing to hear Heffernan watering down a lot of the concerns.
I sincerely hope that something comes of this - if not then it will ake an accident to being about change.

Bit disappointed to be honest.
Despite the length of time since the last hearing, the Senators questions today dont seem to be particularly searching.
Buchanan and Joyce are being allowed to regurgitate the same old mantras.

DOn't worry guys, the Senators know when they are being taken a lend of!!
The questions were clearly to get on record some key statements.
They have not heard the end of some of the issues!!
The days of the international tag flight are numbered!!
