I have a good source in Air NZ training that said the way they are tackling it is deciding where the shortage of crew may be as the result of the redundancies, working out a down training schedule which resulted in 48 months of training required and then selecting the 40% of pilots who are required in the short term. Everyone else will have their training delayed until demand warrants them coming back on line, so 60% of the pilot moves are on hold for the medium term. I would think Qantas would be the same, carry out the training that is required to keep the operation going and leave everyone else on LWOP until needed regardless of seniority.
