it does leave them with a headache
what are they going to do with AO staff cabin crew can be offered other crew jobs with jetconnect, qf mainline , jetstar international or redundancies. but the sticking point is seconded pilots from qf. will the junior captains/fo's have a job to go to in qf or are they offered leave without pay, redundancy or return to qf mainline back as f/o and s/o. having said that jet* int. has its little problesm too. the A330-200 is not certified to fly to hnl or any other longhaul over water operations. it takes months to get the approvals. the only way i can see it done if qf (under the qf AOC) pilots will operate teh flights. given that aipa is not excactly happy with that idea, lets see what is happening. a mate of mine rang me lst night he tells me that the first of the
A380 is now scheduled to arrive in september 07.something to do with rewireing all airbus and boeing aircraft. and the delays keep coming
