Dragun,
Even better.
If it was my trainset, anyone employed within QFlink would have a preserved seniority number for the purpose of career progression to mainline from the date they commenced employment in QFlink or some other nominal date, ie: a date at which an agreement is reached.
Of course there would be those who hold enough seniority within QFlink to get say a 737 or 767 command. But there would still need to be minimum time on type/rank in mainline prior to promotion, hence no direct entry commands. The problem is, this matter should have been resolved 15 years ago, but it wasn't.
This would be rewarding those who are contributing to the profit of the QF group whilst employed in susidiary companies. And two, cap the loss of pilots to other airlines due to no structured career path to mainline. And three engage the workforce.
But it aint my trainset.
