Scoot, AirJapan have just laid off their expats...after 6 months or so of this crap, they are international carriers and have finally come to the conclusion there is no clear path regards international travel returning...so time to hunker down, layoff and downsize.
Air Japan was largely expat driven via contacts. Scoot not so much and it’s the cadets that will largely wear the brunt of it. Aussies at Scooter who have been there for a while are in senior roles or perm residents, so are going nowhere are still being paid nearly 50%. If they wiped out everyone minus the locals they couldn’t crew it, don’t forget it was largely a Aussie and British run venture from the get go.
Cadets won’t really be needed until the 2030s at this stage unless your a bottom feeding prop operation that nobody wants to work for and continues the high turnover.
