Why go all the way to SA? There’s nothing stopping thousands of SE Queensland residents driving to Byron Bay each weekend, mingling with no doubt hundreds of people from Sydney who are also visiting for the weekend, and getting back into Queensland no problems at all. Yet Queen P is so concerned about the spread of COVID out of Sydney despite NSW showing so far the most effective track and trace program in the country. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
Melbournian here, planning to jet to QLD to see mates within the first week of border opening.
Lol at the nutters protesting an entire state because a demoncratically elected government was elected.
WA has insanely stricter border policies but 1/50 the outcry (also keen to visit mates there when able)

Timmy the issue, well my issue Queen P is making it purely political there is absolutely no fact base science as to why she won’t fully open to Australia even to VIC. I would be very happy if NSW fully dropped its border to VIC today. QLD ppl did elect her I fully respect that and now they can pay the price as business go bust jobs are lost and ppl are at their knees thinking what went wrong whilst everywhere else in Australia benifits from Queen P hard border closure. Even QLD ppl know Vic and NSW residents make up the majority of their cash revenue.
WA is effectively a separate country with a massive desert forming a natural barrier. It's closer to Singapore than it is to Sydney. Australia means the land east of a line joining Adelaide and Darwin.

“I won’t support anything QLD don’t care what it is. QLD gave Queen P their blessing they can deal with that aftermath.”
+1 for Ragnor, Props and everyone else. Screw em, fly past QLD on the way to NT or drop into Byron. Parochial, jingoistic **** from the Premier deserves nothing less.

Funnily though basically zero hate has been thrown at the governments of SA and Tasmania which, for the most part throughout this 7 month period since April, have had similar border restrictions to Qld and WA. Now, why I wonder have those two governments been ignored while the others attacked, wouldn’t have anything to do with who’s in power in those states???
But could I ask a request. There’s already another thread on this forum where peeps can argue about borders and politics. This thread is about company related issues regarding the pilot group. How about we stick to that?

However that doesn't exonerate the Libs for running a piss poor campaign, after so many years of Queen P/Trad destruction in so many areas the Libs couldn't land a blow?? Amateurs.
So when does Jackie Trad's government job get announced?

Also Tas and Sa applied a commonsense approach...and they are open. Nothing to do with liberal v labor.
besides, if you want to go down that path, NT is labor, and they also applied a common sense approach. Doesn’t really fit your argument does it.

QLD perfect example of being petrified and falling for the Queen P propaganda machine. Even the busiest tourist spots in QLD voted for her. Either way QLD can look after QLD as said by Queen P regarding the hospitals, I hope Aussies avoid QLD and prop up TAS, SA, VIC watch all QLD squirm into bankruptcy screaming for any tourist dollar.
The difference here is that queen p decided to basically ridicule other states & gloat about their failures whereas other premiers did exactly the same thing with borders but got on with the problems in their own states without seeing the need to remind everyone how good they were on a daily basis.

Because WA and QLD are not using common sense they’re using political motivation which is having an effect on WA and QLD residents. Good for NSW and SA as those residents flock to ADL and Ballina/Byron we thank those guys for sending money our way creating employment and allowing families to reunite.
TAS needed to wait as they are a smaller island and didn’t have the resources to cope with an outbreak and needed to be sure and in my opinion didn’t make it political.

As far as I know, they haven’t been happy to make exceptions for sporting teams, movie stars etc due to $$$$$$, while compassionate/medical cases from just across the border get knocked back. Nor have they been indulging in belligerent, childish rhetoric and saying things like ‘We have South Australian hospitals for South Australians’.
Who would’ve thought the doom and gloom of a few months ago would end in some positive news only a short time later.
EOI was sent out to 787 crew this morning for flying in Dec, Jan, Feb.
Great way to end the year. Let’s hope it continues

People making comments like this just dont get it.
Oh i forgot,the company statement saying it was a very difficult time for the affected employees & their families shows how much they really care.
I wonder if the 2000+ ground staff who found out via a media post that their jobs no longer existed are thinking its a great way to end the year.

might sound harsh but a job as a baggage handler compared to a career as a pilot is a little different. Many of us didn’t know when we were getting paid next...let alone the next career if this fell through.
good luck to you
Qantas don’t give a **** about staff. Pilots or ground crew.
Got some good advice today from an old TRE.If you can, then get out of flying. Use the time off now to study or do something else. Get a side hustle.Get a solid employment alternate.Don’t ever rely on the job now.No one in Qantas cares about you or your family. Focus on the alternate that is now destination. Might take some time but it is essential.
In the future if you do go back then always remember to put yourself and your family first. Qantas don’t care but you have to.
