Dom,

Scope or "job protection"as it's referred to down here, is indeed the root of the problem. Qantas has been systematically eaten from the inside out by Jetstar. I still remember when QF bought Impulse and rebranded it, Jetstar. I kept thinking, why can't they see what a bad sign it is that QF A330's are being moved to Jetstar???

Unfortunately, the horse has well and truly bolted and while I take absolutely no pleasure in saying this, I think QF Intl are well and truly screwed. At some point in the next 3 years Jetstar will be rebranded the "New" Qantas and QF management will have destroyed an internationally recognized brand and they'll finally have their b-scale pilots.

Until then, i'm pretty sure I'm safe on saying that QF pilots have the full support of us at V.
