*Yawn* Uh huh, I bet they’re scared :rolleyes:. Hasn’t worked for anyone else trying to take them on, I highly doubt Rex are going to be the ones that rock the ship.

Care to place a wager....

In any case if they are still expanding next year I would hazard a guess there will be a big blow up over slot access into Sydney especially during peak times. In the end I think QF and VA will be forced to cede slots for competitive purposes, more likely QF as somebody will just argue for them to use bigger planes less frequently.

Is there any reason you actually need SYD-MEL every 15 minutes ? Or every 30 minutes with twice the capacity....

Because an A330 is not twice the capacity of a 737.

Plus there is the issue of aircraft utilisation etc etc. A 737 can be turned around in 30 minutes. An A330 can’t.

A mate of mine has traveled QF, VA and ZL recently. Because of the current post-covid situation, he doesn't use QF because of their prices (although he likes them normally), he has stopped bothering with VA as he's flown twice with ZL and in J and got full breakfast, the last time he flow on VA in J he got a cup of fruit and a coffee after they touted 'breakfast'. As he said to me, don't bother saying 'breakfast' if you're going to, at best, serve me a cup of fruit I can buy in WW.

Let's hose this bullsh!t down that Rex have added flights to their schedule since the arrival of their seventh jet. They may have upped their flights temporarily but this week (in a month that is traditionally one of the busiest of the year) they are running the same 102 flights Mon-Fri BNE-SYD-MEL that they ran in late August when they only had six aircraft.

Public Wake Up!
 

Plenty of EXPERIENCED wide body Aussies available to step in and take Direct Entry Commands at QF. If the public only knew there was more experience and skill in the jumpseat these days they would be outraged.

which aircraft would these hero pilots fly Active? The grounded A380’s or the undelivered 787’s?

you’re an idiot. Get a life.

ok clown, prove me wrong. Heard a heap of experienced guys joined the other day as S/Os. 20yr Captains flying all over the World. Where have you flown and for how long? Step up hero, LHR, LAX, JFK, SIN, CGK, BOM, DEL, NRT, FCO, JNB, SFO, ya World travelled idiot!

Why would they be outraged? And what does your comment have to do with the story above it?

Stick to your overseas “Commander” role buddy, we don’t need you here

And who really cares? They knew what they were going into QF as. By the way I dare say they would show much more humility than you would dumbass. Who gives a toss which airports they’ve been into

huh? What the fark are you talking about? Why is it a 20 Captain from some other airline, better than a 20 year Captain in QF? My experience is immaterial to your incoherent argument, but rest assured that there is only 1 of those cities I haven’t operated into. Now kindly, fark off.

Plenty of experienced wide body FOs capable of upgrade at QF too. Seems this is an airframe issue - not a lack of crew issue.

sounds like you’re desperate to come back. Having ‘experience’ doesn’t mean you’re not a massive d1ckhead.

The public only care about the price of the airfare, they don’t give two ****s if it’s an astronaut or a 200 hour body driving the thing.

Soooooo what you’re trying to say, correct me, is you’re part of the elite overseas pilot ranks who has flown to a million airports with your four stripes, and everyone back home needs to p!ss off outta the way and make room for you, cause you are top dogs and we are just lousy little domestic pilots?

Just remember you go overseas, don’t expect to be able to come back. That’s the reality. That’s why I never did it. My employer does not hire expats. Recruitment told me they are just more trouble to deal with vs your local body. I know cause we hired d!cks like you in the past who just create divisions with the know it all attitude.

for a moment I thought you were the most intelligent one on this forum.

It is the truth. I worked in recruitment in my previous operator. We hired expats previously and had problems. Management said they didn't want anymore problems, what they really meant is they don't want anymore people who have an agenda when they walk in. My current outfit wont hire expats as they prefer locals from a prop who generally hang around. I have many many mates overseas like you, sandpit and what not, who are trying to come back, but the options are very limited. Now, not everyone is a d!ck that went overseas, but some are, and cause problems for the rest.

You are better off retiring at the expat job, buying a boat here or up in Asia somewhere for the weekends, vs trying to get back here for job that will likely pay half or less for the remainder of your career, and end up with little cash at the end and no boat! I mean I think I would prefer finishing up early on the 777/380/350 with plenty of cash, then spending the last 10 years slogging it out in some Alliance or Network gig just to get home.

I’d love to know what ActiveLooker’s obsession is about having all these “experienced” Captains who are overseas, come back and take the jobs of local pilots. What benefit does that provide Active? And did you get rejected recently from an application to try and come home?

Just wanted to highlight the arrogance of blokes like you Porno. I’m done now. Enjoy

That’s not what he wants though Poppa. He wants a QF command, because he believes that his 20 years is superior to all others.

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