No.Their flights have been paid by someone to QF or whichever airline it is.I don't envy the road warriors.
But it is the same argument Dr. what you have just added is spin.

Also of note was their behaviour.As some have observed talking loudly and being served meals as per their seating.We were in Row 3 but paying pax in row 4 missed out on their choice of meal.
Compare that to the 2 pilots in J SYD-BNE last week.Both in Row 1,offered meals but declined until other pax had their meals.
As to JQ being part of QF.Yes but not always for paying pax-I travel MCY-MEL-DPO and reverse.No checking through of bags,now have to lug bags between terminals and coming home have for all practical purposes lost QP access.
I also thought JQ staff were on a different EBA to QF staff.
But I do pay for my J seat.Do you?

I'll explain that comment. If the pilot was down the back, and the cabin crew up front, it means the crew were on duty tickets, and the pilot had purchased his own (i.e. he's a commuter).
Can you explain this to me... What's the difference to someone on a 'duty ticket' and someone who is 'commuting' to work. I am pretty ignorant when it comes to airline work practices, so isn't that the same thing?
"Duty" means the flight is part of your actual rostered flying duty (e.g.; I'm based in Sydney and need to travel to Adelaide for a flight).
"Commuting" is when someone chooses to work away from their base (e.g. I'm based in Sydney but elect to live in Melbourne).
Most airlines don't provide the staff member with commuting tickets so that's at their own expense. Duty flying is totally the airlines responsibility.

OK thanks, that makes sense. I am assuming however that the commuting tickets would be at staff price as it could get a bit expensive for the staff member to commute all the time.
