It’s about restarting the airline in PREPARATION for when they do. It’s not just a switch flicked to on. It takes time and resources, and the roadmap is just that - an acknowledgement that in order to be ready by date X, you need to start getting organised now. It’s a signal to the market that money will be spent in readiness. There is a potential massive upside for QF if they are ready when the gates open.
It will see training across the board and more importantly, pay in the pockets of the guys that have been stood down for way too long.
Good news fellas - allow yourself to feel hopeful.
Ignore the Xeptus and Telfers of the world - those types of people love bathing in misery, especially if it belongs to others.
It does matter to many of those who have good secondary jobs they will be forced to give up. QF will call all A330 and 787 crew back in preparation for international opening up in December. The is a very high prospect the government could announce in November to delay opening up international for another 6mths. QF will then stand most back down. Too bad if you gave up a decent secondary job!
