QANTAS AIPA 7.30 report
Nunc est bibendum
Great video. Can I encourage people to share that around on Face book, Twitter etc.
(Stupid PPRUNE for editing book face to be FacePPRUNE the first time. It appears that Twotter with an I also becomes PPRUNE. Fair dinkum, what a joke.).

It might be time to resurrect 'The Chaser's' version of the QANTAS advertising anthem, which apparently hit a nerve, part of which went, I think:
'I still call Austraalia (fifty-one-and-a-half-percent) hoome...'

John Laws on radio Monday 15th March
LISTEN UP. John Laws on radio today Tuesday 15th March after the 10 am news. He is VERY interested to hear about the goings on at QF HQ and QF pilots being squeezed out of the flight deck- so here's your chance!

Noip,
"No-one is saying QF mainline pilots are any better than any other pilot group from other First level airlines"
and yet your first response to my post was
"Riiiggghhhhttttttt ......."
So if you are not saying that QF pilots are the best then why such a sarcastic response?

[QUOTE]The hero of QF32 was the Airbus. Most drivers worldwide would have returned it to terra firma./QUOTE]
Apparantly "the Airbus" EICAM was sending misleading info, requiring intervention by the crew, at times skipping checklist items that they knew would cause further problems, that "the Airbus" obviously did not.
Credit where it's due!

Anq, let's review your comments:
Comment 1:
Comment 2:
“As a group are they very well skilled? Yes.”
As are all airline pilots.
So far you've made assertions that 'most drivers worldwide' would have gotten QF32 back on the ground; and, 'all airline pilots' are very well skilled. Whilst we can't really test your first assertion with any degree of objectivity (short of simming it with a representative selection of 'most drivers worldwide') we can only go on subjective arguments.
Given how airline pilots world wide continue to find new ways of pranging perfectly serviceable aircraft I'd suggest that your point 2 is somewhat flawed. Indeed I'd argue that the standards amongst first level carriers are quite similar but that's a very different thing to 'all airline pilots'.

Air France, Continental twice, American twice, Fedex, UPS. These airlines have all had accidents in the last 2 years. Are they "first level".

Jossell and Worthless
.......and the answer to the question is that Wirthless got the decimal point in the wrong place when she wrote Alan's script.
Some evidence that she may have got the decimal point wrong according to this link above.

You're the one trying to make the point Anqrka, you tell me. It appears from your most recent statement that you're agreeing that QF pilots are better than those other 'first level' airlines that because we haven't done had those prangs AND we've managed to recover some situations which could have gone quite differently. Yet previously you decried that all airline pilots around the world are the same. You can't have it both ways. Either QF drivers are as good as other first level carriers, or all airline pilots are the same. Patently the latter comment isn't true. So would you agree that QF drivers are as good or better than other first level carriers?
You're a strange cat- one who it appears likes to slag out QF drivers at every opportunity. Yet you're strangely inconsistent about the point you're trying to make.

"RICHARD WOODWARD: People actually accused me of being in 1989. Qantas pilots never went on strike in 1989. We were flying all through that. It wasn't anything to do with us."
Perhaps if you had helped the domestic pilots in 1989 and hadn't flown domestic passengers in 1989 you wouldn't be in this situation now.

Not all QANTAS pilots stayed out of the dispute; some were in it momentarily as Australian Airlines pilots...then they deserted their mates and went back to work...(or were invited into the country by the Prime Minister) and then they were accepted as QANTAS pilots 
.
Let's see how the Sky Gods handle the forthcoming stoush; if there is one.
P.S. it might have been an 'IR disaster', however not one of the airlines involved exists today; but I'm still a pilot!
