Seniority
The irony of someone in the baby boomer generation having a go at a younger generation for 'never facing hardship' is absolutely delicious. News flash, neither have you. Your long meaningless lives must be such a disappointment to your parents generation, the truly 'great generation'.

Actually j3 , you’re wrong.
-Black Monday 1987
- Pilot Dispute 1989
-Early 90’s recession
The last 27 years have been an aberration.
Anybody over 60 , particularly in aviation, HAS been through tough times.

OK das , thats really hysterical.
Nothing in the last 75 years compares to WW2.
40% drop in share prices in 1987 wasn’t a joke. And you didn’t have to have shares to be hurt.
State Bank of Victoria
State Bank of SA
Pyramid Building Society
All failed.
Unemployment 11%
Government response overshot and led to interest rates 18%
Many families and businesses never recovered.
Not the Battle of Britain but I suggest you don’t joke about it in the presence of people hurt by it.

The next 5-10 years is going to make your little problems seem like a walk in the park. Cry me a river. Cry into the money you made in the last 27 year ‘aberration’ due to the policies your generational voting block ensured themselves whilst screwing all generations after them. Franking Credits, Negative Gearing, Salary Sacrificing to name a few.
So no mate, you’re wrong.

If you don't understand Franking credits then no problem but essentially you shouldn't be taxed twice inside an Investment/ revenue stream.
For Salary sacrifice you are right it doesn't add much value really.
As for Negative gearing I expect that quite a few posters here found out the hard way in the last month how that magnifies losses far more than gains. Lot's of Margin calls talking to someone at Macquarie Bank.
There are a few areas you should be very wary about receiving and believing on the Flight Deck:

Some posters have become absent from both this forum and Qrewroom because having begged flight training for a job and pointed out how much they supported the last EBA Qantas agreed with them and they are still employed full time whilst other more senior pilots remain stood down.

Yikes, j3, you’re so angry.
And you’re not even old enough to have done anything yet.
Or has life passed you by already ?

Most people on their third marriage give the same advice;
“don’t ever get married “
“don’t ever get married “

You know it's going to be an interesting flight when the 3rd marriage starts getting mentioned. I just cant wait for the financial talks to start. Which break are you on captain?
Ah George,
2 things
Firstly, I made a sweeping statement about your generation that you felt needed rebutting obviously. You stated I was wrong, I am merely replying to your response. I am not angry, you may be projecting.
Secondly, you know you've lost an argument when you have to resort to personal attacks about someone else.
You have a nice life now champ. I will not be engaging in debate with you directly anymore.

Long before COVID and the threat of A350 outsourcing, you were salivating at the chance to vote for EBA 10. Putting every new SO at Qantas on the worst conditions ever seen on a LH EBA. You openly admitted that your motive was your timely promotion to F.O. After a long, long 2 years as an SO.
Wouldn't it be ironic, if the hobgoblin queen returned you to work on those new SO conditions, that you squealed so eagerly to vote for.

They could have been put on the Virgin 777 SO pay. And you know what? They would have still been on a better deal then under a new entity.
My motive was to secure the flying. The same motive as AIPA. Perhaps you should follow the advice of your union leaders. 85% or your fellow colleagues did.

One would hope so?
Talking to a very senior F/O (at another airline), who has been stood down on no pay since this thing began. Other less senior F/O’s are still earning a wage flying on the limited services.
Crickets from the AFAP Reps on this one.
