Well, Cutey, those old buggers with their millions of superannuation at the top of the seniority list (
) can become YSSY based Pacific Barons for SIA. For years SIA was full of 'retired' Qantas drivers, many of whom no doubt had debt remaining after their third or more divorce or large a acreage to pay off. And they'd probably find many young Aussies to act as cruise captains to hold their hands and push their wheelchairs for not much more than the minimum wage.
