Save my seat on the lifeboat!!!

The numbers of MOU that have stayed at JQ after resigning from QF is not that high. After the negativity surrounding the RIN last year a number elected to stay at JQ feeling under considerable pressure. Six months later the percentage staying at JQ is very low. The reality of poor pay & conditions at JQ has left a feeling of regret for some. Most now are returning to QF with happiness. Good luck to everyone. As for EK. There are some rather unhappy lot there and would be surprised to see "many" not return. EK is no longer the greener pasture escape that it once was.
Agreed. Most (overwhelmingly) of the QF LWOP guys I know at JQ and EK have or intend to return for the reasons outlined above.

Most would rather sit calmly and comfortably in the right or back seat on great remuneration and conditions with a balanced life they have the time and money to enjoy in Australia.

Most agree that is not achievable at either JQ or EK.
