It almost would make the work force casuals allowing stand downs all the time. It’s just the cost of doing business and QF must wear the wage bill.
Not saying I think it should happen, but what I think will happen.
They can probably use the continued WA closure to justify more stand downs across all bases as a result of overall domestic capacity reduction.
But hopefully the info in the last post I made can give hope that this delay will be short lived, as even they know that the effect of waning immunity on the elderly is more serious than not as many kids vaxxed.
