Not entirely correct. It was to be an external entity to the current mainline pilots. It wasn’t necessarily going to be a foreign one. I’m quite sure it didn’t need to be.
The mention of ‘Chinese pilots’ at the time was in reference to the many expats flying for the various China Southern, Eastern, etc returning to Australia to fly for Qantas in this ‘external entity’.
