In reference of the pilot source for Skimpy consider the following.

How many years of non-currency on 320 equipment would dictate a requirment for a new endorsement?

How many former 320 pilots looking for work? Not many I don't think or hope.

Outside of QF, Dragonair is the employer of the highest number of exAN 320 pilots. Not many would leave that company for a QF subsidary I can assure. Emirates similar. Virgin Blue has a handful who are all Captains and I don't think they would leave.

Silkair might be a good source. The Singaporians have proven to be the Raping White Knights of the industry. Not my words either!

I don't think the exAN 320 pilots is much of a card to play. Could be wrong, missing an AFL season could bring anyone home I suppose.
