Yes. Well said Jungle Juice.
I note with interest discussion around the potential loss of four 744s this year.
This loss together with our already reduced international flying capacity has the potential to create an enormous number of surplus crew in the QAL ranks.
How will this potential surplus be managed given the need to crew our newly arriving A380s against the unwillingness of QAL crew to voluntarily go anywhere near it??
Now that work choices is dead and buried along [metaphorically] with the fascist who created it, Qantas isn't in a position to use "operational reasons" to do what ever it wants.
Which BTW would have most certainly been to make redundant QAL at the same time as hiring en mass for QCCA..........
