Do you think it possible that JQ Oz will, at some point, reach a "critical mass" with the result that:
- little or no further expansion will occur in Oz,
- promotions and further recruitment will be offered in Singapore/Ho Chi Minh/Timbuktu, and
- the non-captains in JQ Oz might have their starry-eyed dream of rapid promotion evaporate due to...
- all the young captains (with years until retirement) ahead of them,
- the DECs entering above them,
- the prospective and coveted Europe flying being done from Asian bases by...
- ... yet more pilots who'll do it for less?

As many are finding, there's not much solace in being in a secure airline "group" if most of the future opportunities are mirages and spin by managers who actually have no interest in Oz content for an Oz brand.
