Much the same logic as employing extra people in Jetstar, then training guys to fly the A330 for Jetstar at the same time as carrying additional existing A330 qualified mainline pilots. Only to then retrain those Jetstar pilots a few years later to fly a Boeing 787. Meanwhile Qantas has an oversupply of pilots with thousands of hours on Boeing Widebodies.
Why does QF group continue to hire pilots when it has an excess??
Mainline pilots in their hundreds are showing they will accept different conditions by taking LWOP and working for other carriers.
Have the MOU & LWOP pilots polluted the Jetstar culture?
