Sure, but this time it seems it’s being offered. Time will tell if it’s a true offer or just words.
Nothing is being offered, they are just saying there is a chance. There is a chance QF pilots are not selected too. It's still a chance though!!
It would be kinda funny as it's such a GA thing to say from a company, but since people have careers on the line here it's probably best not to trivialised it. Given it's a new type I would suggest that there will be a few type rated folks required.
