I don't wanna be telling you JQ guys & girls what to do.

But QF should have included the vacancies advertised in mainline as available for MOU bidding.

Yeah, I get it. No one is interested in an A330 SO slot or B737 FO position.

But it sets a precedent that vacancies aren't advertised in accordance with the MOU.

You might not want what's currently on offer, but A380 FO or B737 Command might be a little more desirable a few years down the track if AJ hasn't trashed the joint.
The sentiment here is certainly sound. But....the MOU applies now to such a small minority of JQ pilots. (about 120 out of 8-900)

If the document was amended to be inclusive of ALL pilots (both JQ and QF) then this suggestion might gain more traction.

I very much doubt, however, that amendments to the document will be forthcoming anytime soon.

I think there is probably a lot more effort being put into possible MOU eradication (by the JPC) as opposed to amendment...especially involving the AFAP faction.
