Australia can't be immune from this. A lot will hinge on how jobkeeper is treated after September.
how does job keeper effect this?
Don’t forget, QF group announced the stand downs (march 19th) before jobkeeper was announced by the government (March 30th).
After September, staff could simply remain stood down with no government subsidy, as was the initial intent of the stand downs.
However, there seems to be a good chance Jobkeeper will be extended for aviation beyond September, as the government moves towards a more industry selective approach to the scheme.
