Talking to a QF recuiting gent recently.He sounded very concerned about QF pilots leaving,especially exAN guys.
They seem to take it so personally,almost insulted that someone would leave QF.I believe the Australian lifestyle keeps more from leaving.
One senior F/O recently departed for EK.Many AN pilots taken on by QF have knocked back interviews and jobs with foreign carriers.
With Sydney median house prices over $400,000,good schools not getting cheaper and inflation creeping back,the lucrative foreign jobs may see a few more QF pilots leave to fund retirement.
Maybe a bond a good idea.
