Where did I say anything regarding lower pay or conditions?
I was saying
1) AB lean AB would not need as many back end staff or management
2) They would not be saddled with staff on old awards, they would be hiring against the new awards or EBAs that QF/JQ and VA are currently paying new hires
QF have somewhere like 26,000 workers for 124 or so mainline or 240 odd group (not including JQ) TBH I have not dug deep enough to get an accurate number as outsourcing, Link, Freighters, Network, JQ, QQ etc hide the true numbers
That said
80-100 workers per bird would be a reasonable estimate
I can't see AB having anywhere near this number, likely more around 40-50
This will be a significant saving that QF/JQ won't get anywhere near
