QANTAS!!!!!
HA ha ha!
What a joke.....consider this;
Qantas own Jetconnect, a New Zealand based low cost 737 operation who they are using to grass cut thier main line pilots as well as Impulse and Nat jet pilots.
Jetconnect pays 737 CAPTAINS $100,000 flat. No superannuation or allowances. $100,000 not $US, not even$AUSTRALIAN but $NZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surely the cheapest 737 pilots on the planet.

Probably there is a "best" airline ,and many bad ones.
Any airline you can get a job with is a good one until a better prospect arrives.
Conditions ,pay etc help ,but really ,is an extra 20 grand or so worth it if your in a place you dont like.
I bet many pilots would prefer to be flying with a company that suits there life style and family situations ,but have to grab an opportunity somewhere else.
I think in Aussie flying with qantas (internal) and Virgin Blue couldnt be beaten.Totally non conjested skies ,great climate,a breeze to drive to work etc ,and if its only 100g a year so what.
Qantas international same as rest i suppose but they dont have trouble getting pilots as does any other airline for that matter.
As before ,the best airline is the one who will employ you

In my days job security was almost always number one requirement. And this is how my employer treated us:
Pay wasn't that important, and when discussed, a lifes earnings was the subject, you could wind up being there for thirty years. Job security always came first. Family, job and job fullfilment. Type of aircraft wasn't that important either, neither was nightstops or accomodation or any other "trimming".
Job content was discussed a lot. We did get the possibility to interact with our customers, ample time to interact with the environment and so on.
And seven days on and seven days off and six to eight weeks paid holiday wasn't bad either. A lot of training must be thrown in, and professional follow-up, since the operation was real hands-on flying, on instruments, sometimes in the worlds worst weather.
In other words no AirBUS-driving. Real flying. Probably doesn't exist anymore by the read of things on this forum. I am retired now, and well off after 30 years of exteremely happy flying and having reached top rung on my ladder. Thanks.

For those that have slated air2bob, air 2000 is a fantasic airline to work for with excellent opportunities such as round the world trips etc. Moral at the moment is high and the company is hosting a christmas party for all staff in manchester at the expense of the company. This is to reward all staff for their hard work and commitment during the summer. So safe to say if you want to be treated well and be trained to cary out your job to a high standard then join air2000 !
next year to give us a fighting chance.
