I think the jet carrot has well and truly dangled, rotted and fallen from the stick.
The junior guys have come into the company with the morale already shattered and should know better than to even think about the possibility of a SSA/EAA jet. Sure Qlink is a career dead end, but don't cock it up for those who want to be there and are happy flying the dash.
Think of all the efficiencies gained for free. Think of the arrogance and contempt management holds for the pilots. Think of Alan getting a 2.5mil bonus while you're wage goes backwards. You'll all been pushed too hard to not bite back.
