I very much doubt in the current environment (ww pilot shortage) that QF are going to cut too far with their pilots.

Jetstar are struggling to recruit to fill their current aircraft orders.

As I have said before, ,Jetstar protects QF pilots T & C.

However, QF pilots may need to look at their current contract in light of competition from other carriers. Will AU $350 - $400k plus oncosts be competitive for an A380 Captain compared to other operators, particularly given the limitations of CAO 48, Home Transport rules etc. etc.?

I would suggest that if you take a basket of Legacy carriers and find that you are on one of the best packages then there is probably only two scenario's, sideways or down.
