Yep. Sure is. So what? I’m not sure what that’s got to do with either an alleged 737 type freeze or your insults against him.

Qantas have been seeking advice outside Qantas, indeed outside Australia. Bit hard to see that from down there isn't it?
I have no idea what this paragraph means. You’ll need to try again.

Lol. Ive no doubt the project is working out the best way forward for ensuring pilot numbers into the future. That may or may not benefit my ‘brethren’ but thanks for the verballing anyway. If you believe it to be something else then that too is your subjective opinion- one that we’re all too clear about from 480+ posts saying largely the same thing.
Funnily enough we actually agree on what’s caused this shortage and that airlines like Qantas (and indeed most of the industry) have both created this issue and not seen it coming.

Agreed. That logic cuts both ways with your alleged 737 type freeze.
Australopithecus is on the money. There will be residual slots on the A380/ 744 and A330 fleet as F/Os leave those fleets to take up initial commands on the 737. Those vacancies need to be covered from 737/330 fleets due to the vertical promotion issues. If there is a type freeze on the 737 where are these pilots going to be replaced from? DEFO?
