Master Caution
You obviously have more inside info than I can possibly have, not working for QF.
However QF is, in my knowledge the only major operating 2 business models. Weren't the 787 going to Jetstar ?
I am not saying this is going to happen tommorrow, but in the long term certainly.
Still, hoodles of people will still want to work there...............and I would be one of them. Even if prices in Sydney and Oz have become totally insane, it remains in my view one of the best places to live.
I have really never understood Aussie pilots leaving Australia to burry themselves in the sand or get buckets of water during the monsoon. ( I'm talking about those who DID have the choice to stay ).
So, copy your post but this remains QF least kept secret eversince your irish boss was hired.
