But QF pilots need to smell the coffee. QF don’t care about your accident free past, they just want bodies in cockpits at rates that are competitive with the rest of the market you are competing within.
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.
But now...........

Most workers get a pay raise when they move overseas.
The airlines in oz dont need to pay the rates that are paid in Asia/Middles east. MOST people accept what they are paid in oz without leaving. Some leave but most dont.
So what.........now you're arguing QF pilots aren't overpaid AnQrKa???????? To be competitive QF pay needs to drop by 30%.........but according to you pilots overseas are getting paid more.. ..............

Yeah, there's a logical argument.
