Yeah that's fair enough Ruprecht .. I get what your saying, all I'm saying is be very careful about not taking an opportunity for a window seat.. In my career I've already lost my job after my mob collapsed, having been on the open market with thousands of other blokes.. Having left or right seat time will better your chances of employment elsewhere..
Now I'm back in the left seat and life is good.. I hope it works out for you QF blokes...chin up and keep optimistic but prepare for the worst.. And having window seat time helps in that regard..
