If QF makes drivers redundant, not many of those from the bottom will have Emitates requirements. All will be former S/O's with bugger all P2 time.

What the?
I doubt any of the QF F/O's that go there will have any so called attitude, this skygod myth is just that these days pretty much apart from a few of the old school Captains over 60 still around. The only overwhelming attitude they would have is hating the QF management, and a sense of despair that it is taking QF down you know what creek!

Rumor is the agreement between EK and QF was never finalised and
QF flight ops have jumped the gun

Confirmed, Emirates (so QF says) have pulled the plug on the LWOP arrangement. Anybody else think it's a bit of a coincidence that the deal is withdrawn the day the pilot's PIA gets voted up?

Yeah, what a joke indeed. Qantas FltOps Managers, do you have any credibility ?
Here is a suggestion, why not publish the correspondence from EK in the
retraction FSO, hey, it's not that we think the whole thing was just a hoax,
or disbelieve you........but you must have something in writing from EK, right ?

I wonder if the offer for them arrange leave for you to attend interviews still stands. Seems only right really. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

To add to my last post i would not be surprised if the QF/EK deal gets scuppered.
Qantas are worried about the PR backlash so the rumor goes.
No need to worry Emirates crews, perhaps you will get that payrise after all!

I'd like all of you guys to stay around and force them to make VR offers. Take the cash then go where you wish.
The 3 yrs lwop is a crock , more so now it has been pulled as quick as it appeared. Same time as the PIA too

standard,
It had nothing to do with EK pilots squealing because
1) It would have been no skin off our nose and
2) EK wouldn't have cared if we did!!

My info is the agreement got pulled by Emirates after AJ's interview yesterday leaving the possibility of redundancies for the pilot group on the table. "Why offer them(Qantas pilots) lwop when they will be coming anyway!"apparently was ek managements thought.
Well done Alan Joyce, you really do hate your staff don't you!!!!!! 94% yes vote for PIA, you are going to be a busy little man the next few months....
