The number of pilots leaving has stabilised - maybe there will be an uptick now that QF are offering more course dates and further interviews. But certainly very small numbers from the left seat at Virgin are leaving.
Despite all the huff and puff of people leaving to go elsewhere - it’s simply not happening. Bonza have just opened a Gold Coast base - I’d almost guarantee none of the commuters from Virgin will leave to go there.
If any of the operators are being used to get current it would be Rex or Bonza. In fact Bonza’s biggest issue with their expansion moving forward is going to be the attraction and retention of flight crew.
