Only info that has been canvassed in the media in recent days and scuttlebutt around the traps in discussion with some pilot union reps who have been speculating about more reductions in flying.

Whilst Qantas maintains overseas based cabin crew it would be imprudent for the company to consider putting young australians ( or old ones for that matter) out on the street whilst still employing foreign cheap labour.
I am fairly sure that unions would respond accordingly in a very public way should any of the bean counters consider putting young aussies out of a job
