Any FO in any subsidiary will earn the same if not more if they move across to a QF SO position. JQ might be a small pay drop but you'll be working 1/2 to 1/3 as hard.
Those heading to or interested in VA are going partly because they’re sick of only getting 8 days off a roster along with the ever-dwindling lifestyle.
