Not unprecedented, this occurred post 9/11 and gave Qantas a major competitive edge without disrupting career path expectations.
Over the weekend I spoke to a former employee (not recently VR'd) who still has many friends in the company. She indicated that the loss of experience in non-operational areas of the company has lead to significant problems in ramping the operation back up. Where former experienced staff have been shunned for positions pre-Covid, that policy has been overturned as they seek experience to expedite the regrowth of the operation.
