Turb Tool,
I hardly think there was a max exodus from QF mainline to Jetstar.
Do you really think that management put a stop to the transfer fearing they would loose mainline pilots in "droves" or was it because:
1. They know the master plan & know where the massive expansion (read: establishment numbers) will ocurr in the next few years.
2. Already manage who goes where within the group.
3. Have realised the value of the individuals they have trained & developed within mainline & recognise their importance to mainline expansion.
4. Are planning for the actual pilot shortage of current & potential recruits.
