But don't worry, you'll still have a seniority number here..
That's exactly what they will do.
If there’s a way to be a human being, Qantas will do the opposite.
QF has admitted to seeing the A220 as the future of the short haul fleet and will replace 74 737-800s with 20 or 30 A321s. The balance will be A220s…probably 60+. The redundant 737 pilots will have the choice of LWOP and a five year exile to the Qjet award or a few month's pay and a shove out the door.
