It would be a significant pay
rise for a stood down A380 pilot. In 3 years he’ll return to Qantas and someone else would fill the E190 job.
Some of the announced flying are routes previously flown by QF mainline. By outsourcing this flying it will keep more QF pilots stood down, cancel training courses and reduce hours.
There are 12 A380’s in the desert and up to 12 E190 coming to fly QF routes. A token few roles flying the jets seems fair enough when you are stood down supposedly due to there being ‘no useful work’ for you to do. Clearly there is useful work to be done, but they are making a business decision (not COVID) to have someone else do it.
