Qantas pilots are in a similar position with the borders now expected to stay closed until next year. B744 being retired early and A380s going into long term storage. The only flying for the next few months will be domestic and New Zealand so mostly narrowbody.

Pilots worldwide who are on what were previously the senior long haul fleets seem to be bearing the brunt of the current situation. A senior Captain on a high paypoint with limited years ahead before retirement , who's on a type which is likely to remain grounded for the foreseeable future may need to consider his options carefully if an attractive redundancy offer was made.

More junior pilots on narrow bodies are likely to be back in the air first, and with 20+ years ahead of them would be better off staying with the company and riding it out.
