Betpump, you make me laugh. "...(FO/SO)...who don't have applications in with QF or BA...". I guess we are flying for a different airline. Just landed from a Europe port a couple of days ago. Two FO's and a SO over the two sectors leaving. I guess the approx 100+ that have resigned since the beginning of the year are a figment of my imagination as well? I suspect your crew see you as a "company man" and therefore are stumm around you.
