Genex, I think you will find that the ill they were wishing was for a shortage of qualified pilots; nothing more.
Your generalisations of the two airlines also show that you haven't learned what most of the JQ guys have learned recently; that having a lower priced contract does nothing in the way of guaranteeing participation in the future expansion of your airline, and that the idea of a providing a career path to pilots is now anathema to airline managements, because it is a short term cost to them.
Far better, from their point of view, to auction off your career to the next lowest bidder and start the race to the bottom all over again.
