"The choice is not binary-there are other options"
That’s what Ansett pilots thought too. And United, Northwest, Continental, Air Canada . . . . Guess what, they signed the deal . . . . or the door hit them on the ass.
Lets hypothetically pretend that QF are after a reset, an event, an opening, an opportunity. They will be formulating their chapter 11 and when they do, you will be welcomed back with a contract sitting on the table. Your old conditions, minus 30% or more. The end, nothing more, nothing less. The corridor is full of EK/JQ/KE etc pilots ready to sign.
Exactly what other option do you think you will employ?
