Geddy, there seems to be a common misconception that the Ansett scabs are having difficulty finding work. I can assure you that is not the case. The ones having the most difficulty are those caught in the middle. As I type I can think of at least 25 scabs that I know personally who have been offered either 777 or 747 positions with SQ. All of the Captains on contract with QF in NZ. Qantas itself has employed dozens on a full-time basis in Australia. There are 767 scabs on contract out of London at the moment, any ex AN guy will know "Stormboy". A couple have recently gotten jobs in Korea. Many have jobs in Japan. The new Fleet Manager 737 at Air Pacific is one. The ONLY A320 Captains that got interviews with Qatar Airways were scabs. Hainan Airlines is interviewing some of them off the 737. Air Atlantique has them on both the 747 and 767. One of them has even joined SouthWest in the States!! Qantas have them as Sim Instuctors in Melbourne. No Geddy, they're doing all right, it's the rest of us who are being "made an example of". At the moment CX is the best, and only, option. I've got a feeling the training school is going to be very busy.
