If QF gets a new type, maybe Keg will get his wish and A380 S/O's will get a pay cut as part of the 'offset' package to secure the flying.
I have to say I was surprised to see him taking on the S/O's on Qrewroom recently, but a friend advised that Keg is now gunning for a management job (base manager SIT or SDT I believe) and so any calls for pay / condition cuts need to be understood in that context.
Back to the thread theme, news from the middle east is that QF has been canvassing options for returnees to crew the new type. Multiple sources in EK have confirmed this.
