Not anytime soon sadly. Qantas have been ruthless in their ability to have one group of pilots on full pay whilst another group is on ‘no’ pay, where is the incentive for them to change that? They are talking about being cashflow positive now, share price being good and recovery on track, all points to big executive pay and bonuses, they won’t risk that by paying people who aren’t needed for flying. Sadly that means if you are a long haul pilot for either Jetstar or Qantas you may be in for a long wait.
