Nope. A number of 'contractors' have been let go in Group Flight Training. In many cases these guys and gals were with QF over a significant period of time and were great instructors. I don't think that it was only contractors that were let go in Flight Training either. I don't have firm information but a number of employees have been made redundant. The Chief Pilot put a memo out on Friday about the issue but didn't provide specific numbers.

The real number may or may not be 1750 but there are colleagues who are being made redundant and that's a tragedy for all of us.
