Yes, last one out turn off the light.
Management have got to be feeling REALLY proud of this effort (or lack of...)
Disgraceful.
Best wishes to those champs off to greener pastures.

Yes, It has gone awfully quiet. Perhaps there is a big pay rise and terms improvement coming. Perhaps there isn't.
DJ is about to decimate the c&trainers anyway.
So too late!
Somebody has royally F$%#cked up.

Now lets make the last remaining pilots feel really needed, lets contract out some Jet flying... only temporary.... due to apparently a lot of pilots leaving, don't worry we have some more Qantas cadets coming, but they move on to mainline in a couple of years... humm back to the drawing board...

Who's left at Qlink? Let's see...
A GM, Accountants, Managers, Yield Analysts, Yield Analysts' secretary, ground crews, flight attendants (leaving), a bucket load of "I-couldn't-afford-to be-a-pilot-until-Qlink-paid-for-it" types,
And for not very much longer, some of the most experienced, skilled senior regional pilots in the country.
That's who.

Foresight?
Amazing how so many aviation "executives" claim they didn't see this coming and its all beyond their control...
There have been warnings in the media for the last 10 years+ and what did the MD's and CEO's do about it?
- Start training schemes?
- Make it attractive as a career option for our brightest kids?
Nope - Instead they screwed everybodies pay & condx to benefit their bonuses and short term share prices, then threatened pilots, engineers and ATC controllers in IR negotiations until guess what....
THEY (we) LEFT!
SURPRISE! (Not). 
If only there was a career path for QF Link into mainline and they never introduced BS like paying for ratings etc. Maybe many would have stayed instead of fleeing in droves to the QF groups opposition. (Rocket science was it?). Guys show them how smart they are (not) by taking your QF training and experience somewhere else, where you are valued.
Aviation execs claiming innocence in the current situation is the biggest load of BS I've heard in a long time. Perhaps thats what happens when short sighted greedy boards hire unethical, ruthless Exec's whose sole goal appears to be personal wealth generation? Maybe they should try selling used cars?
Massive QF profit announcments one day, threatened mass redundancies the next. Does something not ring true here?
Good luck QF Link - I reckon you'll need it!

Managers claiming they never saw this coming? I can believe that. Many have their heads jammed so far up their chairman's rear end the only things they can see are the soles of their CEO's and CFO's feet.
