If qantas wants to get rid of engineers,they at least should provide training on other aircraft types so that if these guys want to apply jobs in jetstar or virgin or even wants to get a job in emirates they would be happy to leave.i hope alaea would pressure the government and qantas to provide training on other aircraft types,as there are guys coming to Australia on 457 visa because they got a380 and 330 and getting jobs here.
You're dreaming. QANTAS is hard-pressed to train anyone they want to keep, let alone train people that they're going to get rid of. Why would they spend money on those they want to get rid of and give the other carriers or organisations a free goal?

All in all, QANTAS of late has been loathe to train anyone, except out of sheer necessity. QANTAS have a heap of A340 and 777 trained guys that used to certify customer aircraft once upon a time. There is no need to train anyone else.
