The other option is to let it fail and that would be no good for any Australian.
QF International was pretty small pre-COVID. The 787’s are all now flying and a bunch of A330’s. They lost quite a few to VR, ER and LWOP. Be interesting to know the numbers they still have, probably not too far from a stable part-time workforce apart from the A380.
As long as things don’t go backwards but continue a slow pace forward, there would be no reason to get rid of International. The 787 and A330 flying is only going to increase and they have the option to use them domestically as well.
Another round of VR would have a good take up I would think.
