QF mainline are still short of pilots and are recruiting heavily still and will do for the forseable future.
I thought QF could run a 744 with 3 crew, instead of 4, and base people in SIN, cut down the number of people you need. Move flying off domestic to J* and reduce the domestic flying.
Took 10 seconds to come up with that, wonder what guys who do it for a living come up with.
