Confirmed today (again) that QF pilots as direct entry captains will occur.
It is somebody very senior, obviously I can not mention names. Forget flight ops in this regard. First and foremost are type rated E-Jet pilots, no ifs no buts!! Im sure somewhere down the line QF pilots will get a look in but the final decision lies with Alliance and they wont be screwing over their own pilots in the process either...
A lot of F100 pilots are not actually interested in doing a new type rating and are happy where they are but Alliance pilots will definitely get a look in before QF pilots. VA E-jet pilots will and have already been hired in some capacity, especially trainers ho are presently in the sim as we speak.
