I'd call one QF guy moving on and another 3 staying to date as a pretty low take up rate of over 2000 Qantas pilots.
The current uncertainty (manufactured) of course may lead to more staying and they would hold relatively junior seniority at mainline.
Every position advertised under the MOU except 1 was filled. There was a huge amount of interest especially considering the last 25 were base frozen in Darwin!
There were also Qantas guys who actually failed the interview process. Generally it was the sim that let them down. Go figure.
Of the 120+ Qantas pilots at Jetstar, only 3 have reached their 3 year LWOP expiry. 2 resigned from Qantas and stayed. 1 resigned from Jetstar and went to China Southern.
100% have not returned to Qantas. 66% have stayed and 33% have left Jetstar.
I personally think we will see similar percentiles across the board as we approach the end of the year with the remainder.
Funnily enough Jetstar must be pretty confident most will stay. They just canned every training captain and only have check captains now. The checkies are pretty busy. Too busy to train up another 100 captains and run the cyclic.
