TLV,
There are at least 6 (inc 3 training capts) with interviews and or offers from jetstar (for F/O positions). There are another 1/2 dozen who have interviews with emirates and cathay, serveral looking to head to VB and 2 that I know of have been to interviews with ANA.
All told approx 15-20 pilots are looking to bale out asap. This may not sound like the end of the world but consider PB have already lost approx 30 in the past 12-18 months and of these at least 8 are experienced training captains taking f/o positions with other airlines. These are not just ozzies moving home as is the opinion of the management there are plenty of kiwis looking as well.

Non1,
You are on the money, the few newsletters sent to pilots and cabin crew lately telling them "it will all be ok" is too little too late. The company cannot thank them profusely for all their hard work and professionalism on one hand and stick it into them with the other.
Why is it that pilots and cabin crew are expected to be professional and courteous at all times when our "collegues" (I use the term loosly) in the office exhibit none of these traits??
