Yes QAR i stand by what i said, if TF makes the mistake and lowers the productivity of the capts then a lot will leave. Goodness knows he cant lower F/Os pay anymore, in fact i heard that F/Os were likely to get a $20/hr increase. Like almost everything in life its a balancing act ( even with the retreating crude prices its still very expensive ) if he gives to the F/Os he must take it from somewhere else.
They made this mistake before with the FAs on airasiaX giving them $50/hr just to cut it down to $20/hr. Strategic thinking is not in their vocabulary, and yes QAR more F/Os have left than capts and more will continue from what i heard. If he lowers the capts productivity i guess the capts will continue the trend of "let your wallet do the walking"
Come on lets face it the pay for capts is not bad in malaysian terms but on a global scale its crap an F/O in vietnamair ( expat of course ) makes more in terms of hrs flown so i say again

GO ON I DARE YOU TONY
