As with all airlines, Galley FM is buzzing with ideas and speculations but nothing is really known.
Qantas are still expecting delivery of the A380 later this month and crew are still be scheduled to train for the new aircraft so thats still obviously still going ahead.
The biggest rumour I believe is that they were going to introduce a new route but with the turn in the economy have pulled out for the time being so don't need to increase the base size as much as first thought - but they already have!! Again, its all speculation!
I know all airlines are currently reporting lighter bookings for the first few months of 2009 so maybe Qantas are using this as an opportunity to save a few pounds/aussie dollars where they can.....can't blame them! With this in mind, there is also talk of them re-starting the recruitment process in late Spring-early Summer so that would fit.
Sorry I can't be of much help but all airlines keep these things to themselves!
