Imagine that getting your dream QF job and having to fly a plane, the horrors that we have to put up with in this industry.
Sarcasm aside if a company has to many pilots in a certain role then what are they to do? What does the current contract say? Make people leave the sanctity of Sandwich Officer to become an FO? Stop employment and ground aircraft?
As I’ve said many times I have no idea about the QF ts & cs but this does sound a little ridiculous!
