EK rumours add an interesting twist to the saga.
This sums it up! QF are not going to risk the backlash if they have some token win against one of the only cohorts that has been under continuous attack when that cohort is suddenly in dwindling supply. And if true, these Aussie, base rumours are going to accelerate this problem, the balance of power is shifting significantly…fast. The pilot shortage that some have always said we are so well insulated from is on our doorstep. To make matters worse, I mean better, Atlas has also suggested they may throw in a pretty generous USD travel allowance for those who don’t want to live in the US, but want to have all the benefits of better pay and conditions without the IR bullsh!t.
QF are about to see how sticking to their mindless dogma and winning every battle will
be their demise.
