I started a similar thread in Rumours and News about senior F/Os not wanting to upgrade to junior Captain.
No one wants to be a Captain.
Now it's spreading down the ranks, S/O on the Dugong doing 2 or 3 long haul trips a month with 1/3 of the time spent in the bunk, good layover destinations with 5* hotels vs bus driving around Australia doing 4 sector days and actually having to work in return for about the same money.
Something is wrong with either the people being employed or the T&Cs on offer, possibly both.
I heard EK are looking for experienced A320 Captains to go onto the A380 and upcoming A350 as F/Os with Command after about a year on type. Might interest a few JQ pilots.
