Feather Boa! Are we associated?
Why is noting an enviably short time to command derogitory? Everyone knows they dont give commands away up there... Far from it...
Back to the topic
Might be interesting to watch the dynamics of jetstar int/Australian Airlines wet lease and QF mainline to see what having a cheaper model available to management does to CX... At best it puts pay rises on hold until parity is achieved, at worst, all the expansion goes to the group with the lowest costs. Interesting times ahead.
Also the way QF integrated the two pilot groups, QF and TAA may be interesting reading for your associations.
Good luck to all, interesting times ahead.
