Sorry Gnade, didn't mean to imply that YOU were salivating but there have been posts by other players in this discussion that were exactly that. We may not have seen eye to eye on certain issues in the past but I respect where you are coming from!
I certainly don't disagree with your sentiments regarding the hiring of crews. That said, there are some cadets out there at the moment who haven't been employed due to this 'down turn'. I'm certainly not a part of the 'there goes your command' brigade. I'm unlikely to go for Skimpy even if QF crews fly it due to the commuting issue and moving the family out of Sydney.
Anyway, I go back to my previous post. QF drivers pay goes down,, there is little hope of the bottom end of the market going up!
