from one of the contributors above (& this isn't intended to upset anyone)
"Humankind has always prevailed. This virus is not the worst global event in the last 100 years. We were swinging in the 50’s after WWII. That era proved the zest for prosperity after 5 years of despair. This virus won’t give us 5 years of despair. We have medical science, vaccines only months away from certification, rapid testing on the horizon, etc. Sure, aviation won’t return overnight, but my optimism remains"
The pilots know things about medicine that the medical professors don't know ? Economics professor also
What babbling baby talk
Cadetship now ? with either Rex or QF ?
Taking a big risk doing direct from year 12 with no "plan B" vocation/profession/skill
Surely any vacancies at Qlink for next few years would be filled by those who are stood down from other QF group airlines , returning from lwop
to other QF group airlines or have been made redundant. Probably nudging 5000 in QF group Australia based airlines (717, Network, Qlink , EFA , JQ ,Mainline) & a significant surplus
for at least 4 or 5 years
Maybe QF are planning to get cadets into Qlink regardless of stand down redundancy in other group airlines
Notice all Lufthansa just sent all their cadets home, lots of other airlines have , CX ?
QF program still running is very strange, the boasted about how it was going to be bigger than Texas - then took years & years to get it going , L3 walked
away at some point. Now keeping it going & new intakes when airlines fleet around world all grounded , we are just a little bit off the pace in Aussie
Maybe QF were dumb enough to sign a contract with significant financial penalties for shutting it down, whole thing looked like an example of how to not do
this kind of project. Big talking , bull****ting & boasting as you delayed delivery for years , major contractor walking away , did the Aussie talk feast for years about location
To much big talkies not enough action
