One of the things that amazes me about most pilots here in the US is how little we know about working conditions and T&C's at other jobs abroad, I don't think PCL meant to be disrespectful, he believes that the "V" brand pays the same in all their subsidiaries as they do in the states, when in fact V America pays the lowest salary of all the companies under their brand. What is happening at QF is appalling, I just can't believe that their contract doesn't have more solid scope language on it (speculating that is the root of the problem, correct me if I'm wrong) it is sad to see the destruction of such an iconic brand
