Head Hunted - Not sure whether there was much hunting involved.
He appeared after the AN Jumbo incident.
I would not be surprised if the initial calls were from the Red side of the tarmac. ANs Jumbo operation posed a direct threat to QFs international operations and with the operation going a bit haywire an ideal opportunity would have presented itself.
It must have been a terrible shock to Qantas having one of its 747 Management pilots defecting to an expanding international operation that will be in direct competition with QF.
But they were very forgiving of poor trev and let him back into the fray as soon as the Ansett situation was irretrievable.
Now a "Discount Charlie" with Jetstar - poor bugger.
