It is not the Pilot or Cabin Crew costs that are much difference between QF and VA it s the ground crew where there is a big difference. QF ground crew are mainly employed under the QGS rates which are lower than VA, There are 5 ports that are VA staffed and cost substantially more per person than he contracted ports. That is where any new owner will make labour cost changes plus there will be a lot less than before the virus. Most are saying half at best will return.
