It is expected that QF Pilots would crew this low cost operater. The precendent was already established with Australian Airlines. qfpaypacket, only the sick and deranged would want to see you chaps fall. The question is, how will the conditions for crews differ from that at mainline. Will you have to pay for your own endorsement? If salaries are not cut to VB/JetConnet levels, would this be seen as failing to full grasp to low cost consept. Just out of interset, what are the differences in conditions between QF and AA? As for AN B737 salaries sending AN broke, this is a furphy, KM. I t was never Pilot salaries that sent AN broke. It was a host of other reasons. As for "scabs becoming extinct", most these days are gainfully employed in aviation worldwide. The industry has failed to 'reject them' as you predicted some time ago.
