You’re suggesting that either Tino or Andrew is involved in the selection of crew for the final flights? Really? I’d be stunned if either of them gave more than even a passing thought to who operated them. Perhaps they may consider to ask. Beyond that? And then you’d suggest that Flight Ops was originally going to go for someone else and that was only changed because of the intervention of one of the CEOs?
Far from ‘intervention’ the decision was made in Flight Ops. Input by Flight Training and SIT Base Ops and then approved by HOBO and the Chief Pilot.
There are actually two ‘final’ sectors. One leaving Australia for LAX and then one leaving LAX for MHV. I’m not full bottle on whether Captain Quinn or Captain Cameron is operating the flight ex SYD. Perhaps they’ll toss a coin. Either way I’m sure both will be pleased with their respective places in Qantas history.
