The airline is still operating. Albeit RBA are having a major restructuring and rescue program, whether for the good or the bad, we will all have to wait and see. Someone pushed the panic button in the higher echelons of RBA management.. .FYI, not only have some expat pilots been removed, there has been at 40 expat (local) cabin crew removed as well. Cadet Pilots on loan are being recalled. So it's not just an anti expat exercise as some would have you believe. This is a major business saving program which unfortunately got off to a very poor start. Give it time for the waves to settle and RBA to actually start talking to their employees before we write them off.
