FBN. The worst kind of troll.
Just ignore the troll guys.
He has no idea what he's talking about. Anyone within Qantas, as I am, or in any of the airlines he uses for his fragile arguments know he has absolutely no clue.
I'm afraid he shows every symptom of a sad wannabe who looks longingly from afar to a job he would dearly love and has no hope of ever achieving. Instead he takes some perverse pathetic pleasure from throwing rocks at what he perceives to be unrealistic remuneration.
It's jealosy, plain and simple.
Sad thing is, anyone reading his posts who is actually in the industry, have worked him out. So every post he makes just reinforces how pathetic he is in the minds of those professional drivers who actually know the truth.
Just go away you little worm. Back to plane spotting or computer simulators or whatever else you wannabes do when you have both hands free. Rest of the time we know exactly where your right hand is. Stop it or you'll go blind.

FBN I don't know what Cathay cabin crew rates are but you seem to know everything. So, please enlighten me with what they earn on the HKG return you talk about so I can compare apples with apples. Don't worry about the Qantas rates as in know them.

Why do you assume that everyone would want to be an airline pilot, I think it would be quite boring.
Confined space for hours on end with two or three other egocentric men - not for me I am afraid
I think the anger & personal abuse directed at me , who is quite simply pointing out the obvious , demonstrates a lot of angst & jealousy within the QF pilot group
You are jealous of the success & continued expansions of your competitors , the new gear they fly ,your own unfulfilled ambitions, the promotions they have , continued aircraft orders , job security.
Don't you have heaps of guys in LH who have been rotting in the RHS for twenty years , & scores of 10 plus year second officers. What a sad career it has been for these people.
AR: you must have done a pretty mickey mouse degree if it only was as hard as CPL/ATPL theory , what did you do Punjab Yoga Massage at Edith Cowan or something ? It sounds like you might be a 20 year LH FO ?
Rome is burning & you really just don't want to accept it.

Well I am not sure how gaining a CPL/IR & having a pass in year 12 qualifies someone to know anything at all about business or financial matters.
The reality is that if the QF pilots had real expertise & skills in airline management this fact would have been identified & they would have been hired by airline boards all around the world to run their airlines. As we know not one QF pilot has been hired to run an airline anywhere , but my goodness they talk a big game.

Seeing your such a worldly expert on aviation management 101, qualify your big claims for us with a look at your qualifications and a factual spreadsheet of your numbers?
Standing by in anticipation.

Two years ago he also wrote:
And then spent the next 12 months enquiring about the Jetstar cadet program and the TTMRA.
He may have an ally in Bill English (the Finance Minister of New Zealand )though, who visited Australia this week. When asked what challenges he thought the Aus economy faced he said he had met a waiter on his trip who was going to earn $40 an hour this weekend, he said "that must be the highest paid waiter in the world" and went on to talk about how Australia has to remain competitive.
This agreement appears to be a sensible middle ground that both the pilots and the management are comfortable with. Excellent.

Hold a CPL and wish to complete MECIR which flying schools in Melbourne area currently have this approval, my understanding is that Oxford and TVSA currently are signed off. Does anyone know the mechanisms/rules of doing training under VET in terms of could you do it part time etc ? Any other schools got the tick in the box yet ? Thanks and feel free to PM

Yeah some people need to lighten up. Also may be worth editing out old mates name, unless its you and you dont mind 
EBA time again? Just sign the deal and we promise, new metal on the way!
I doubt network will be getting a320s
Unless of course they are really old and really cheap. You can't justify having 100 million dollar aeroplanes sitting around for half a dozen flying hours a day.
Unless of course the plan is to work them doing something else.
If they were going to do that, why not just use an existing A320 operator with all systems in place?
This is probably why network won't get A320s.

Have to say it's quite disappointing that they've neglected the 747-8i even though there is still a market for the venerable jet.
To think that Qantas used to parade the 747-400 in all their old commercials and literature and now ignore the same plane that gave them so much success is very sad to see.

787
787 VH-VKJ (Jetstar) has been parked in an unusual location in Paine field the future of flight aviation center maybe its there for a presentation (Qantas future fleet) or more likely because its been at Boeing for nearly 5 months since roll out.
PS stop talking about wages on a forum for fleet speculation take it elsewhere, at least half us don't care what you make

Followed by the rest of the JQ 787s.
