if you think you will ever see a 787 in the rat livery think again, they may have orders, but lets just say they will have orange stars on the tail
Don't be so sure about that.
Where are all these ready made pilots going to materialise from?
2 things to consider: MPL
and QANTAS Pilot Training School, ie in house cadet training.
VB have the opportunity of a lifetime here. Encompass all the growth within their own group now!!!!!
That includes embraer, 777 and whatever else that may well be. A career path that would easily surpass what's on offer at QF.
Don't be so sure about that either. DJ has their own problems with pilot supply and industrial conditions.
Great to see the pilot body standing firm in support of future recruits, QF take note.
you will rot away as an SO for more than half a decade
Sure it's not an ideal place to be but you'll only rot if you let yourself. You can always look at it as the longest, best paid holiday you'll ever have and you'll always be getting closer to bigger and better things. You say potato...
