I would like to see these faceless managers thrown into a cockpit on a good old dark and dirty night and see how they feel then. Bean counters have always been and will always remain a handbrake to aviators who just want to fly.
Next time you have one in the jump seat make em squirm!!
Best of luck to all, cheers dougy.

In the interests of aviation safety my flight deck is a Q manager(used loosely, for the want of a more descriptive word) free zone.

I'm surprised that you're surprised that QF discriminate against subsidiary pilots.
You guys and gals should know that all QF are doing is paying lip service to whoever by interviewing pilots from their subsidiaries that they have no intention of hiring.
The trick is proving it......
The stream of pilots progressing from regional to mainline has been VERY thin in the 8 years I've been around. I have formed the opinion that if you want to work for mainline, then seeking employment in a subsidiary operation would actually be a bad move as far as career progression is concerned.
Caynine, do yo get my drift?

HJ, how long did it take you to "form your opinion" in was blatently obvious back 6-7 years ago following the folly of the integration case and the fact the ******s recruited every CRJ driver they could out of KD so as to increase their costs.
I'm not bitter, it was my choice to accept the job with a Q regional, just seriously p*#sed orff about being treated as a second class employee when all we(all regionals) have ever done is to do the job to the best of our ability and with pride, obviously we were very naive and should have seen the big bag of horse !!!!! coming our way and made the move elsewhere!!!
Pride and loyalty are well and truely non existant in the regionals now. What a pity, ahh, what might have been.

About 1995, or 1 year......
I'm hearing you, dude. The company is only now coming to terms with the meaning of the word "goodwill", and the significant effect the absence of same will cause right across the company.

Even a dog knows the meaning of loyalty....If you kick it enough times it will either bite you or just go away.

HJ,
At least we now know that we will be destined to spinning props for the rest of our illustrious, if not viewed by the top insignificant careers!!!
"May well we say God save the Queen, but nothing will save the regional pilots" (sorry Gough)
