Before this rumour grows to great heights, the fact is that several QF captains including 380 drivers have indicated to EK that if they ever consider DEC's then they are interested.
Plenty of QF people would rather see out the last 5 or so years of their career with a real airline rather than fly to Sin, Lhr and Lax.
Also, QF guys have been knocked back at interview with EK recently. They are not going to take any ego's, something quite common with some QF people. Those who have got in so far are some of the good guys who we would be better off not losing.
