I actually wish them all the best. Anyone that can make employment for Ozzie pilots in this era deserves all support that we can give!
I knew lots of AN people having flown for regionals and affiliates over the years, and even some QF people recognise that to have a great airline, you need great competition.
VB just don't cut the mustard with me at this time.
Bottom line is: Employ more pilots!!!
