QLink can't crew the aircraft they currently have let alone a new type. Word is a direct entry captain will be joining the cairns base.
If, and that is a very big if, jets did come, they would be additional to the current fleet not replacements. The said jets would be used to replace the 737-400s and operate to regional ports such as alice, isa and mackay. As such, how do they expect to crew them.
Do QF have minimum upgrade requirements?
