CX saved by the impending demise of QF?

I have never said that. I have only pointed out the flaw in your one sided opinion regarding QF pilots pertaining to their industrial dispute with their company. I don’t care how much someone earns. We all have the right to try and improve our T&C’s when it is time to renegotiate with our employer. To say someone isn’t entitled to that right because you think they earn too much smacks of “Tall Poppy Syndrome” which unfortunately is endemic in Australia.
I agree lets allow CX to hire DEC on any base they can hold, and whichever fleet they desire.
Management can stop salivating. 'Fair Work Australia', the industrial umpire, has intervened and QF will be back in the air later today. It's all over...for now. Captain Toss teamed up with a QF sky god would have been interesting though!
And for management stooges etc going on about 'greedy pilots' etc, all the QF boys and girls want is for QF aircraft to be flown by QF pilots; they are not after a pay rise. Their campaign may only be PA's and billboards, but they are doing something about being undercut by cheap foreign pilots.
Meanwhile, we will go on training and flying with 'Cheap Charlie iCadet'...

"I can't wait to be on a command loft 4 with a ex-QF dip s-**t telling me how QF knows the best way to fly a A330."

Congratulations to Capt Crespigny. A brave man in saying what he felt was sensible and obvious to the outside world of International flying. I have been a pilot for 40 years and flown Internationally for some 25 of those years and agree totally that if Qantas pilots don't realize they live in a very competitive world, particularly within Asia they will eventually be naturally forced into unemployment. The aviation industry is one of the most difficult professions to be in and one can't rest on a "public service " type mentality in assuming that The world owes them the opportunity and security for a life time regardless of economic conditions. The Airline pilot is a professional, Qantas pilots need to set the example.
