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
Tell that to the boys and girls who have left QF for EK, taking all that 'in house' experience you mention.
Tell that to the HUNDREDS of engineers been shown the door because the company values experience.

Didn't hear one peep from mainline saying 'we want the Q400s' when they first arrived in '06. Now that we near 30 Q400 airframes (with more on the way) I'm hearing whispers from some senior mainline FOs they want an MoU like they have with JQ, (and that's keeping up the morale of the JQ drivers!
) in order to get a command because we all know what the command potential is like at QF at the moment...
Mainline's sense of entitlement over the
entire group is sickening. If you want to join QLink, happy to welcome you - at the bottom of the seniority like everyone else.
