Qf and Jq management have only just realised the MOU pilots will start to return
from Feb next year. The pilots, almost without exception are planning on not resigning and returning to Qf.
The reality is, Qf don't want them back (yet) and JQ don't want to lose them and re-train. (Some are also training cpts). There is nothing to prevent an agreement outside the MOU for an extension of the pilots LWOP to Jq that also keeps their right of return to Qf intact. Will make for some interesting reading on PPRUNE . . . .
I wonder if the S318 application is a response to this impending issue?
