Why wouldn't U.S. carriers be able to move into European routes, which could benefit U.S. majors and their pilots?
The pay and benefit packages at Air France, Lufthansa, British Airways, etc are equal or higher than their U.S. counterparts.
That statement is just wrong. The partnership just started a few months ago. Qantas has spent the last 6-7 years transferring their international flying to Jetstar*. Their management spent so much time and effort diluting the brand that the international division started losing money, even though they had a virtual monopoly on Oz-USA routes. The Emirates partnership puts Qantas code on all of the European cities, Africa as well. The overwhelming majority to places Qantas never served before. I just flew to Accra with a Qantas code attached. That's one of those 84 routes that Qantas pilots lost, huh

Do you realize how heavily subsidized those airlines are? And how much • MONEY Air France LOSES EVERY YEAR even with subsidies? Please don't talk out your arse. You sound like a Euro.
