There is no secret.I have a few friends(Captains) A320 and they are inteligent enough to understand the way QA operate.Late evening/early morning departures/arrival -everybody knows why.
They understand they will not stay forever on A320 due to huge numbers of 777,350 on order. They do not plan to leave!
Pilots who can not cope with that kind of schedule leave. And so what?
Somebody who has energy and positive thinking,willing to work hard and patience, will join.Good for QA! I only want to encourage this kind of pilots to come,they will be happy.
PS. As long as schedule is legal according CAA, I do not see reason for complain.I know some airlines use pilots much more and some operates contrary to CAA duty time regulations!
