crew reduction

my understanding is that is happening across the board, in all bases. having said that i would not be surprised if that is not the case.....

AJ is going to cut costs everywhere he can to fulfill his promise to shareholders of making AUD $ 500 million profit this financial year.
QF has made 280 million in the first half and since its his first year in the job he will make any effort necessary to achieve that ( 220 million for the second half )
ie: theres a trial in syd domestic of no more crew on reserve at the airport. sitting around doing nothing.. anyone hear anything ???
only home reserve ???


if
the loads are 95% or more in the premium classes then the 16th crew member will be add
how can that be possible if you have an outbound light load and a full inbound flight ? where will they get that xtra crew member ?\
its going to be a logistic nightmare, and as we all know when comes to things like that QF isnt the best example. ie: the raspberry fiasco . oopsie !

if anyone here that has already operated with 15 crew give us an insite as to how it was ?
