The issue that your going to have is that Cobham would not employ the MAJORITY of the pilots at Qlink. Cobham have relatively high standards compared to Qlink
So having said that bodybags, Cobham's high standards would leave the company incident free? All those pesky faux pas recently where the drivers have entered the wrong weights into the FMS and consequently got a stick shaker into Alice...twice! Or that rejected take off out of Perth recently because again, the incorrect weights were entered and an incorrect V1 was spat out. Less said about the impact crater in Darwin the better...

Hell, QLink has had its fair share of faux pas too...but we certainly don't think ourselves as any better because we're the wholly owned subsidiary. Pull your head in and put away the pork ruler bodybags. We all fly in the same sky.

The problem here is ladies and germs is that in order to move on up in the industry in this country now is to resign and employed by another entity who coincidentally flies the same coloured tail! Years of service count for naught, seniority shot to buggery when we've got this Americanised system of corporate Australia every slowly wrapping it's tentacles around the necks of the 99% who work for a living.
