vdd, I would imagine they would get the BNE base numbers from existing crew. There are easily enough commuters to fill the 250 slots.
I would imagine once the numbers are finalised they will action the base transfers for existing crew then fill the positions left in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth with fixed term crew.
IF the London base opens they will have too many crew in Australia so QF will then say bye to the fixed term crew and then offer VR packages to permanent crew.
As a current long haul f/a I will be going on strike to protect my job and those of other Australian's. Fingers x'ed the London base will not go ahead and the fixed term and casual crews will be made permanent.
