Yeh wow, that went so far off topic FBN, I had to check i was still in the same thread.
Even if QF weren't hiring,
I've seen JQ pilot average hours are creeping up so new hiring soon on narrows anyway maybe. But i figure they'd be wanting to utilise the opportunity for cheaper SO's (instead of 2x FO's on long flights) when they can, seems when the new frames come on would be the time to do it.
