Exactly 2 ex-QF drivers have joined CX in the past 8 years; 1, a 767 F/O; the other, a classic S/O. Both joined as Airbus DEFOs on oz bases on CoS99.

Given that CX was unable to attract any more QF guys with CoS99, it's unlikely they'll get them on CoS08 or cadet S/O pay.

I think the most junior QF 767 F/O has around 10 years seniority, so won't be joining CX anytime soon to sit in the backseat on unlivable pay with 12 years to a command. They go to to to Jetstar for command via the MOU, the likes of Qatar for a quick command, or take a demotion to S/O on the -A380 and enjoy the pay and lifestyle improvement.
