🙄 yeah, because I’m sure all of those former Capts and FOs, pissed off at being stuck in the back seat again thanks to Swire and the CCP, are completely impartial and are without the merest hint of...

I’ve seen emails sent to applicants asking if they’re willing to accept 737 FO on day one. It’s not DEFO, but it absolutely, totally is.

If they were told they couldn’t have 737 FO on day one,...

If you’re the recipient of an email inviting you to apply for DEFO on the 737, caveat emptor.

There’s a reason they’re 30-40 FOs short on the 737 next training year.

The overall package is...

Leave the company with zero of either.

Both make your life easier, either at home or at work, and they’re about all you can directly influence these days.

1. Geoff Dixon, South Leagues Club, AIPA meeting 2002-ish.
2. Geoff Dixon, he didn't "say" this one, he wrote it, in a letter to all mainline crew in about 2003. I threw mine out but I know at least...

Lend a hand? Very generous of you. I'm sure that your future colleagues would welcome you with open arms.

You would have to join as a S/O and then bid for a promotion accordingly. There are no DEFOs or DECs to mainline.

The only time time I recall it happening was post Ansett collapse in 2001 and I...

MEL 737 F/O was the most junior position in the recently released training slots for the next 12 months.

I don't have a current seniority list, but I would suggest it's currently under 12 months...

Ouch. Sorry to hear that broken. That's tough news.

Are we still seeing the HR-centric approach to recruitment? Failure rate I've heard for SOTs is unprecedented in my experience. Hope they've...

Allowances don't count. They're fully expended while at work on food, beverages and incidentals, especially when asked by the Deputy Assistant Commissioner for Taxation.

The problem is, no-one joining in the last 20 years has had, or will have, the opportunity to structure their career as today's senior LH captains have. The advice given is utterly irrelevant to...

That's not fair. I have paxed on the flight deck once or twice.

I was fortunate enough to take my first promotion in QF after 18 months when such a thing was possible.

As an F/O I am tired,...

Jee Ray, a new joiner on the 787, about 100k. Established crew on the 380/747 could easily earn 2.5 times that amount due to the differences in the contract. This is significantly more than a 737 FO...

Yeah, we're overdue for a 747 S/O RIN given that we've just retrained 10 or SOs onto the 747; the same pilots who were RIN'd to the 330 18 months ago. Oh, and let's not mention the dozen or so FOs...
