Surely most people can see this for what it is; a lead into cadets entering qlink, and another half baked attempt at dangling a non existant carrot o try and retain existing crew.
Qlink management are finally getting concerned at the number of crew leaving, and more importantly the lack of qualified crew to replace them. So their solution: offer a crap deal that amounts to them basically saying
"we'll print out the application form for you, from there you're on your own", and trying to sell it as a great deal. Anyone who sticks around on the basis of this "agreement", has their head buried so far in the sand, they're ripe for a management slot.
The proof will be in the pudding I suppose, we'll wait and see how many prosper from this deal. Though given it's into the only airline in the region(not even the country) that isn't currently expanding at the moment, i expect we'll see some people turning blue from holding their breath!
