Well sadly at JQ , 78 crews could be stood down until next yr there is no possibility of the 78 being used domestically due infrastructure and airports where they could use stand off bays wouldn’t make using 78 viable. I’ve heard rumblings of SOs on the bottom could be let go.

320 crew in the smaller bases could be stood down till September or when demand dictates maybe one base could be closed but I don’t think any will be made redundant anytime soon. JQ have said from the start they will do what’s cheapest for the company and doing big payouts is more expensive than AL accruals for stood down pilots. JQ also did a massive recruitment drive last 4 yrs spending a lot of money the EBA has a type rating payback over 5yrs 6th yr you go on level 3 there is nothing in EBA to say if you leave inside that time you have to pay back the balance. So that would leave JQ with more than a redundancy bill.
