What does a JQ 787 captain get paid in comparison to a QF one? I understand the a320 and 737 comparison is fairly close.
There would have to be some financial incentive to go that way and I can’t see any upside for QF, as it would surely cost more than simply a few percent on wages. This isn’t 2004, and unless another Australian Airline goes broke in the next 12 months, they won’t have the same desperate for a job (that’s not a shot at the AN pilots, that’s just the way it was) pilot pool to choose from either.
