I feel for the sustaining fleet guys and girls that have been stood down up there in Brisbane... The company has pretty much left them in the dark and given them nothing but crumbs about there future.
No reason for the smallest Qantas group airplane to be sitting on the tarmac while loads are these low.
Everyone can see that the sustaining fleet is not coming back - why string it along? I know they said it’s coming back - but they also said no redundancies in the group.
After it is moved out of Brisbane it’s going to be probably 2021 before they can justify converting those crew to the Q400. The sustaining fleet is the poor younger brother of the A380.
