Sadly, the only jets qlink people will get to fly will be the ones at virgin and tiger. There are a lot of experienced qantas pilots who will be without a job over the coming years and it only makes sense to keep that experience in house (albeit on a much lower wicket). All we can hope is that where ever the jets go, the pilot council has the balls to not get starry eyed and sell out.
