The way I look at it is that there is light on the horizon, and the more they p*ss us off now, the more people will leave. True the current financial crisis has hit hard, but there is already talk of green shoots of recovery. Will QR have enough pilots? I believe not, and the more the true conditions are advertised here the better.
This year we nearly had aircraft on the ground without pilots, if it hadn't been for the depression and the Boeing strike it would have happened. So many people are waiting patiently for the right moment, then do you think they are leave politely? I don't think so, again I think there will be lots of aircraft stuck down route because the pilot/s have jumped sheep.
People will remember the insults and the degradation suffered, and act accordingly.
QR management; you have be warned.
