I'm sure Cathay and Emirates drivers would be happy to take a small pay reduction to pick up a QF or Virgin command based in Syd or Mel.
Don't expect to many racing back to Oz.
Conditions at QF are heading down the drain and DJ doesn't stack up in terms of time off vs pay.
Fact of the matter is that both QF & DJ are actually losing pilots to both CX & EK.
At the end of the day any shortage can only be a good thing for us all.
