Did QF overcook the VR process
With the rapid return of international aviation demand post Covid 19, the Qantas VR process now appears to have been a little over aggressive.
A quick ramp up of Qantas operations could be assisted by a re-call of expertise and experience provided by selected personnel, contracted specifically in the short term to assist in the recovery of the Qantas business. Not unprecedented, this occurred post 9/11 and gave Qantas a major competitive edge without disrupting career path expectations.
