Qantas Recruitment
why is me explaining my beliefs and why I disagree with the other person such a heinous crime?
Maybe its one of the reasons QF have introduced a interview with a pysch for some candidates now!

Because on a fundamental level most pilots are insecure about themselves and you are probably presenting a point of view that is in direct opposition to their own. I don't know why this is a common trait across aviation but it is unfortunately.

Some are quite happy arguing their point of view, sometimes quite stridently, without fear of that argument affecting their work relationships, or indeed friendships.
Sadly, the psych testing and HR interference is more likely to produce more of those insecure types that are yes men in public and hide behind a nom de plume to take cheap shots and throw insults. .
Well done Keg on standing up to an attempt at bullying you into silence. It would not have been easy putting all the personal details in the public domain. Let's hope those who post their bile and vitriol will now put up or shut up. Best Wishes for Christmas to you and your family.
Always respected the keg.
I've never met a "nuggetty little rover" I could trust….....except Keg!!

QF published a Flight Standing Order, advertising 10 737 Commands in PER with training to start in February, but no 737 FO positions (those asked at the interview if they would go to Perth, and said yes, may be the next to be hired I suspect). I hear it was all very rushed.
Something about to happen on the 737 in Perth?

Probably just nore 'base balancing' on the way. All legit nothing to see here.
maggot,
What's in it for the company to create positions in Perth and then base balance to the East Coast? Why wouldn't they just make the positions on the East Coast to begin with?
My personal belief is that the A330 will almost entirely disappear from East-West flying and be re-deployed internationally. Maybe one or two flights in the morning and afternoon peak each day will stay, but other than that it will be 737s, meaning plenty of flying ex Perth. Virgin are doing the same with their A330s once they start China and Abu Dhabi.
The rumours of more international flying ex Perth for the 737 was floating around a while back too, that could be the other reason.

Imo the 330 perth base should never have started. And the flying is all east then asia which is good for the company at 5:30.
Yeah i think some more int flying ex perth, but that is a big increase for the base size...

These are not beliefs, they are opinions about various real, tangible subjects whereas:
“discussing Christianity on the flight deck”
Is about a belief in sky fairies!

Whether you believe he is what he claimed to be or not, he was certainly no sky fairy...
There is far to much political correctness these days and if people are so unsecure about their world view that they can't tolerate it coming up for discussion every now and then perhaps their comfort zone deserves to be challenged!

Thread drift alert
Sorry oicur but that can't go by without comment. With the risk of thread drift, I will mention just one point for you to consider - and especially relevant at 'Christmas' time: 'Christianity' involves belief in a historical figure of history, Jesus Christ. There is no question he existed in history (plenty of non-Biblical evidence). He was significant enough that for centuries history was marked as 'before Christ' and 'after Christ.'
Whether you believe he is what he claimed to be or not, he was certainly no sky fairy...

That said, Keg and I had a robust discussion about this very topic on Qrewroom many years ago that went on for 15 pages and had close to 300 replies. Please don't let this thread drift away from its intended purpose.
If you want to defend your ideology then start your own thread. I'm certain those interested in Qantas recruitment are not in the least interested in a debate over whether fairies exist, or not.
