Very interesting times ahead.

If the world wide economy takes a serious dive and the demand for air travel takes a resultant serious hit Qantas it seems is well placed to retire older, fully depreciated aircraft like the 743s 767s and older 747s.

Assuming commitments made to Airbus and Boeing for the Dugong and Dream[ing]liner are to be kept what will it do with all those pesky [$$] surplus QAL cabin crew?

Now that the rodent is no longer in power QF can't very well sack surplus QAL crew and hire cut price QCCA at the same time.

Maybe QAL CC will be forced to migrate to the A380?

Tears for all concerned..........
