The only thing going for QF staff at the moment is there no way the govt. can allow 36,000 people lose their jobs, no way, regardless if its the Droner from Altona or the Mad Monk, in the LH seat. That is what you have to cling on to, the only way they can do that is let the whole thing die slowly in a heap, as it becomes JQ, over a period of time. They cannot just hang a closed down sign up at the jet base, that at least gives you time to plan your own future, to sure up your finances, and plan ahead, and with a little bit of luck, a CEO will be found (Ralph Norris are you out there?) who could just turn the whole box and dice around. A worrying time for all QF staff.
