Don't have a problem with foreign pilots. We have a lot at Atlas mainline right now. It's when they created an offshore crew leasing entity (outside union legal protections at that time) strictly to help bust an existing union I have a problem with them. Luckily AABO is only a remnant or thorn in the side that exists now as a remaining piece of leverage for management. Maybe the remaining AABO (@50) will no longer be a factor if we work on it some more. It's just a little more salt in the wound when furloughs and downgrades hit mainline guys and AABO recieves no equitable amount of adjustment to their ranks compared to the mainline. Says a lot about their purpose.

As to the carriers you pointed out, there is no one carrier hauling that freight with the exception to Qantas cargo. Qantas cargo is actually not part of Qantas as I understand it and uses Atlas and Qantas to do it.
