Whilst not privy to any inside information it wouldn't be a huge leap of faith to presume there's a considerable disconnect between the pay scales of QF Mainline 744 crew and what EFA pay scales are.
So the real question is not why doesn't QF use their own already employed pilots, but, would their already employed pilots be prepared to do the job for what EFA is prepared to pay?
