QFA220 engine problem rumour
Looking at their AOC they don’t even have Low Vis, RNP-AR or International Passenger operations approval as yet.
I do agree that ALL Qantas/Qantaslink operations should be under one ‘mainline’ operation, but that’s because I dislike the division that Alan, and now Vanessa have engendered.
Keep dreaming NJS offering you a 20% pay rise is more likely to happen (and it won’t happen).
Is the whole 'mainline getting A220s' line a new take on the 'Qlink getting jets' line we used to hear over a decade ago?
I mean, Qlink sort of did get jets if you reshape what Qlink is.

Bottom of mainline seniority list. Doesn’t negatively affect any current mainline pilot. In fact, it’ll create promotion.
Their current NJS captains retain commands. Their FOs get first pick on a220 commands under our AOC out of seniority. They only have enough pilots to crew maybe 15 jets. The remaining 15 or so then go to the normal bidding process for the remaining pilots. And it’ll put a big stop to the divide and conquer.

Back on topic though…the engine in question is being replaced but the other engine, which will be checked for the same issue soon, is of great concern given the lack of availability of spare engines. They can’t be found for love nor money.
