The amount of time QF could lumber along is not really answered in the annual report as there are too many variables, like how many staff costs will they slash, the last I heard they had around 2 billion in cash. No changes they might last 3-5 months, with massive slash backs and forced LWOP and sackings of casual workers...hmmm maybe a year if they were lucky?
I have first hand news just this morning from a mate who was a contract pilot in China asking to return with a return bonus as well, so I think it’s not a rumour.
