Surely even the Australian federal government aren’t stupid enough to approve foreign pilots. Public and political sentiment for QF is at an all time low.
You should have faith that the government will
recognise it as an attempt to screw industrial conditions down, and that there’s plenty of Aussie pilots to fly Aussie jets. QF just have to pay what they’re worth, rather than this industrial divide and conquer using subsidiaries - and then playing victim and asking for foreign pilots.
