FFG 02,
I personally know 3 guys who either have just (last week) or are about to (within the next two weeks) do stage 1. So as engine out said it looks like they will be taking some substantial numbers.
I saw an interview with GD on ABC AsiaPacific last where he said QF were expecting at least 4-5% growth this year, and are also adding more destinations (as we all know). Which says to me - more crews.
