Ha! So you think Virgin will be alright yet qantas is about to start VRs? Interesting.


Yes. I believe VA will make it through. But that has nothing to do with QF and VR's. Why do you link them? VA is still shedding their labour force with the ~700 to be exited by EOFY. VA's capacity reductions are not on the same scale as QF since the business is primarily domestic. QF is dramatically adjusting capacity. They won't hold labour indefinitely. It's not what Qantas does. And yes - thanks TL - I meant to say 2,000 FTE (not specifically cabin/tech crew). QF always offers up VR's first during downturns. We're in one now.
