I dunno tune'777, they still must have the right to reside in OZ. And remember, the United pilots have been furloughed, not sacked. Big decision to pack up and move across the other side of the world, especially if you old job may be waiting in 3 months time.
A lot has been said by airline managements about the misfortunes of others. To hold that up as an example as to why we should condone the continued degradation of our profession is just what they are hoping for. It's not a plan to attract and retain quality crew. It is wishfull thinking by self interested string pullers who will do and say anything to protect their own positions.
Whether or not that sort of attitude prevails, I guess remains to be seen.
Oh, and by the way, have you heard about the request to VOZ second officers to pursue other avenues if they so wish!!!
