It is the same in ALL group airlines with Jetconnect struggling to even get people to interview and Jetstar having 10 FO's already resigned to go to Air NZ with rumours of another 10-15 being interviewed in the next few weeks. The common thread when you talk to these FO's who are going is that they don't see any progression in the Qantas Group and say that it is not worth sticking around for mainline recruitment as Qantas won't recruit from group. So if the rumoured change is true then management really need to state as much, perhaps that will give some of the guys on the fence some reason to stick around.
