Gifting the company an excuse to start up a separate entity for future expansion is just madness and I don’t see how any logical person could vote and allow this to happen.
If AJ and co have such a strong hand then it won’t matter which way you vote the outcome will be the same (whatever QF want). Everyone here knows that if it was commercially viable to establish a new pilot entity to replace mainline it would have been done a long time ago. The last decade alone would’ve yielded ample opportunities to create an (obviously unviable) budget pilot offshoot - I doubt Coward St haven’t already explored this option to death, and given the current state of affairs I think the proof is in the pudding... it’s simply not worth it.
I don’t think it matters what hand QF have, the collective pilot body probably have a better one.
