Not true.
As the precedent has been set by all the other DEC's coming to oz in various forms, QF are going to offer DEC's on the 737 to further marginalise mainline. (and to save money...of course) They know AIPA are totally impotent now and short of a mass walkout (89 anyone) there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Everyone is focused on the demise of mainline. Keep an eye on shorthaul.
Apparently, there are heaps of blokes in HKG and the ME looking to come home and all have vast NG or bigger left seat time.
Interesting times.
