There is no international flying now & there won't be any this year
Likely it would take a couple of years for all 787/330 crews to be consistently stood up
, assuming no hiccups , no further shut down of international travel etc etc
So that is three years away from now - all going very well & why an earth would you assume it
will all just go swimmingly ?
It will be at least an order of magnitude more complex and challenging than getting (& keeping) Australia's domestic borders open
Nobody is doing anyone any favours by claiming it will all be over by Christmas
Stood down / unemployed crew have a real opportunity(ie: two to four years) to reskill/ requalify in other areas if they desire
The RIN is years away & I think you would be pretty naïve to think that is how QF will proceed, it ain't the CP who makes that call
