Noted. I also know a QF LWOP pilot who did JQ time but, faced with demotion to FO upon returning to QF, decided on an Air China contract on continued LWOP from QF.
Earnings
and days off are now greater than both QF FO or JQ captain. I hope that situation is indicative of "market forces" and does something to dispel the part-truths used as facts justifying industrial ideologies in QF.
