Don't know the guy/situation but hear is some spit ballin':
1. He/She didn't want to be an QF SO for 8+ years?!
2. He/She was tired of calling the QF Captain "Captain/Sir"?! (or if they were particularly magnanimous, "Skipper").
3. He/She was concerned about murky Jetstar "divide & conquer" long term career plans?! (CX aren't the only experts on this subject)
4. He/She didn't want to pay 43% tax (soon to rise - change of Oz gov't)
etc... etc... Point is, everyone has their reasons. Only one thing is for sure in aviation, and that is the grass is
always greener on the other side!
