If Long haul crew will be crewing 75% of the regional flying (and currently only crew 30%), then a huge amount of flying will be removed from the short haul division.
Short haul have in recent times, also been managing a surplus, with lots of crew currently on LWOP. With a forecast huge reduction in flying, it will be interesting to see the effect on MAM.
Will MAM casuals be the first to be offered these 'low paid' full time long haul positions? Also does Maurice Alexander have a roll in Qantas' new FA hire company? Or has he been cut out in the race to the bottom?
