If QFare able to crew their AA operation with pilots from mainline QF or source them from sidelined and fully trained AN pilots the objective will be to reduce costs. This is a low cost operator, right? Flying tours from Asia to Ozzie holiday destinations. Whether those cost savings are purely in salaries paid or conditions, savings there will be. But why the outrage from the incumbent QF pilots. Have you not heard of the laws of supply and demand? Are you so far up y.. I mean removed from the commercial realities of the world that their ex Ansett chums must defer to them and say 'gee I can't let the side down'. But there are several mortgage payments due and the kids go back to school in January. Com'on you guys! Get real what would you do?
