Dream on J* guys. Better stick to saving the Qantas group. Ha. The numbers will be around 1000 and below. How do I know? I'll be one of them!
Think about it. Mainline presently shrinking. Redundancies on the cards. Go to Shorthaul, sit it out for a while, transfer back to the east coast when you can and come back to Longhaul if it ever turns around. No need to go on LWOP and then if you do come back to Q have to give up a command.
I think it will go very senior this time.
