You guys are just speculating rubbish.

QF haven’t made a pilot redundant in most of our lifetimes.

There is a demographic problem at the top with retirements this decade from lack of recruitment. There is also the stand down provisions in the eba to cover any surpluses.

So my guess is there will be a bit of fruit offered to the 747 guys to avoid an expensive RIN. Everyone else will roster share and the use of stand down will be applied for as long as needed.

Shorthaul will be largely back at work by the fourth quarter.

Jetstar? Who knows. But it’s a lesson to put all your eggs in the Bali basket. The entire operation is exposed to any hiccups over there. It’ll be a volcano next. Those 787s would come in mighty handy on the QF 2 crew network in the future. Jakarta, Bali, transcontinental, NZ etc.
