If JQ were to train them, I think it would only be fair on the company given the enormity of cost in training they agree it’s a one way ticket back to 320 or pay full cost of the 320 training and being re trained on 787
From the perspective of the company, it would be cheaper to down train senior pilots and retrench last on. The costs of redundancy for long serving employees is high.
The cannibalism being displayed in the Australian aviation industrial landscape is pitiful. It is like watching Game of Thrones.
