QANTAS, it gets better.
Interestingly, for all the purported ‘experience’, the reality is that some apparently rubbish FO from a 737 or 320 etc would probably have triple the takeoff and landings he does, therefore making them more experienced. Sitting in a bunk, then flying a STAR onto a piece of tarmac a few times a month does not make you experienced. Except in being a massive d1chkead.

The guy can’t even read. He is the worst kind of imbecile. He probably drives the crew bus.

As others have said, you’ve just become an experienced d1ckhead, that’s all.
Stay overseas “Commander”, we’d be best off without your cockiness down here. That’s if you were even able to get a job with your arrogance.
Got to say people.......this entire convo is exactly why Australian pilots get a bad name worldwide. The expat thinks he's better than local pilots and local pilots tear him apart because they think they are better.
I'll be honest nobody else in the world gives a flying f*&k. Pilots are pilots, some are good and some are bad, no country is harder than another they are just all different. Instead of fighting amoungst yourselves over utter non-sense focus that attention on having each others backs and improving T&Cs.
Can' believe I actually took the time to type this!!! haha

I have been browsing these forums for over 18 years and I am continually dismayed at the name calling, point scoring, back stabbing and carry on that so called 'Professional Pilots' indulge in! While I hope it is just a vocal minority putting us all into disrepute, I can see why the industry here is so toxic. The divide and conquer strategy of our supposed betters has indeed being successful, they are laughing all the way to the bank while Aussie Pilots piss over each others backs on their way down the drain.

Would love to hear it, or a you just talking shit?
Meanwhile on Qantas, are those clowns still going everywhere with wing inspection lights on? This sort of thing is indicative of the attitude that makes them hated everywhere. Whose resignation do we have to wait for to make that one go away?

I never said they can’t get a job back here. Plenty of operators will offer jobs, I think we have seen that which is good to see. However, it would be very challenging for a return expat to find themselves at some point, in the left seat at QF Mainline /VA/JQ. Considerable wait times currently exist for the changing of seats, even if they did get a look in.
Come back in a few years and this will likely reverse, ie everyone going back overseas again to retire with a bigger bank balance.

Yeah, I know, but we seem to be the only country where it is somehow considered smart to turn them off despite what is written in the regs. I can’t tell you many company aircraft I’ve seen taxiing in the evening in stealth mode.

Not the position lights. The wing inspection lights are, yes. But that still does not make them a “best practice “ as we are so fond of claiming.
