You 737 w@nkers make me laugh, flying a 60s technology tractor and still somehow think your crap doesn't stink. You might be the greatest pilots in the world but you certainly are not the smartest.
We flogged much older 320s around SE Asia with barely an unscheduled overnight.
Maybe just once, try and look outside your tiny bubble

Settle down old mate, I too would chose to fly an A320 any day of the week over a 737 (if I had the choice). It’s quieter, roomier, better workload distribution between crew, etc, etc.

But I guess at the end of of the day, who cares it’s just an aeroplane- we fly what the airlines tell us to. Shame we all can’t laugh about the differences.

LOL, are you a bit sleep deprived like crew that sleep on couches on unscheduled overnights because there is no engineering support in port?

This is gold. I would’ve loved to see the responses if they had.

You blokes have had it too good, for too long. Thankfully your industry relevance is coming to a swift end, and perhaps only then will you realise you were not as great, nor cared about as you tell yourselves.

You mean the credibility and industry relevance that's adorned on your F100s tail and all the perks ...

Why is it popular to grandstand being paid less for doing the same thing ...

Why would you have a go at another Pilot group for successfully negotiating better terms and conditions then yours?

You should be working hard to ensure your conditions are improved not trying to drag another group down to your level.

Your either a young schmuck or someone with no idea, but I agree that you should re direct your whinges not to your fellow air crew but perhaps the masters that are enslaving you? Once this turns around Network will be like a deer with no eyes, No idea, and no crew...that’s a given.

Awww sweetie, at what stage of the process did your mainline application fail?

If I was you I’d be pushing for an MOU for mainline positions like the JQ/mainline MOU. It’d be your best chance of flying something other than a clapped out 320.

Troll alert. Good attempt though.

This is the official CASA definition of General Aviation:

Definitions


Defined as all non-scheduled flying activity in aircraft allocated a VH registration by CASA, but excluding VH-registered sailplanes (powered and unpowered). Ultralight aircraft, hang gliders and autogyros are also excluded.
I suppose this means a Qantas A380 on a "non-scheduled" flight is also GA

Probably just hearsay, but is there any truth to the rumour about a mainline pilot calling a network pilot a “scab” in the Perth staff car park?

I don’t know how I would in that situation, but it wouldn’t be favourably. It has to be one of the most disgusting words I have ever heard.

Don't know, and it would be impossible to verify if it did or didn't. It suits the narrative that it did, so therefore to some determined network pilots, it must be true.
The truth is of course, its probably not. Just like all the statements on this site over the years about QF blokes walking past pilots of other airlines and just shunning them in some sort of superiority play. The truth that I've seen is exactly the opposite. But that doesn't suit the narrative of the QF blokes being the bad guys because they get paid more. It actually beggers belief that some on this industry subscribe to that belief. Jealousy I guess, but I can't figure out why anybody in this industry would like to see more lower paid jobs, rather than the opposite. It's crazy.
Thee tall poppy syndrome is alive and well.

How many Network, Eastern, Sunstate, Jetstar or Jetconnect pilots have written books about themselves?

Just because 1 person did that,it doesnt mean he has the support or indeed represents the feelings of others he works with(now 'worked with').
You will always find special people popping up when the situation suits.
