The pilot market for QF is not as big as many would think. I don’t know why anyone would leave a command or even FO positions from overseas,
VB or even Skywest to be a QF SO.
might be for you buddy but plenty have done it, just as plenty of QF crew are looking to move out, Each to their own
Fix up the antiquated seniority system
Improve terms and conditions of employment
Dump the payment for ratings
Increase salaries
Are you suggesting QF should not place someone like you in a Junior SO role because of your vast Jet time?
Why? Any QF SO has to meet a standard that enables them to change seats when the position becomes available. QF does have a very archaic rostering system though, that is entirely seniority based. It has vast problems and costs QF millions extra $ each year. Making it a little more fair would stem some of the outflow of crew or least some discontent.
QF do not yet charge for endorsements in the mainline operation either
