Can’t see a huge uptake of this from JQ pilots, most of that vintage are either 787 CP’s or senior 320 CP’s. Why come over and be flogged on the maggot for significantly less coin?
For the hope of staying at mainline?maybe, but at the seniority numbers they come in at they, like all new hire pilots getting quick slots on the 737 operation, will be waiting around 10 years before they see a wide body FO slot, and east coast command ????
With all that is going on here lately I’m beginning to appreciate why a number of pilots that left here to go to J* on LWOP stayed there!
and yes, Qantas does need a new fleet, but I’m starting to feel it’s not mainline pilots in the current form that will be doing the flying.
