If you think QF will RIN a 380 captain to 787/330, only to RIN a 787/330 captain to FO, only to RIN a 787/330 FO to SO, only to make a 787/330 SO redundant in the current climate, you will be severely mistaken. It doesn't make sense, it's a waste of cash, and HR have told us there is no legal time line on the stand down notice. They could stand you down for 10 years, and there is noting you can do about it.
What dr_dre has said is exactly what will happen. Long periods of stand down, no redundancy payments, and lots of pilots taking LWOP, taking an alternative career, or pulling the pin and retiring early.
What a year 2020 will be.
