I will be surprsed if QFlink will attract many Sarth Efrikens. The "Manager" insists on keeping the pay, lifestyle and respect level slightly lower than that required to retain anybody with experience.

After returning from the promised land of low-pay pilots they may finally admit defeat, offering a decent pay rise and lifestyle balance.

(just joking)

Much as another Dash 8 operator found after they checked out the same option - a long time ago incidentally. They now pay very good money and have a long queue of experienced guys and girls out the door and down the street.

How could that be? Isn't there an unprecedented pilot shortage? Aren't pilots being poached? Didn't we (qflink) do everything in our power to retain pilots?
Everything in our current obscene profit business/plan/model that is...

It may be time to get their snouts out of the bonus trough and have some humble pie.
