Oh, it didnt, did it?
What about that group of Impulse/JQ lads that did their A320 type rating in Europe, caught the plane home with that ink barely dry, and dropped into the Dragonair HO on their HK stopover and had a friendly chat -- one they had organised before they left Oz?
A win/win situation I believed one called it. The pilots weren't bonded, Dragon didn't have to fork out for a type rating. And the bill was paid by JQ.
