From my knowledge, the reason they are cutting LAME and AME jobs is because there is going to be 7 less 744's next year with no new aircraft replacing them. It isnt because QF is wanting to change the LAME:AME ratio or the amount of LAME's per aircraft, those figures are going to remain the same ("Supposedly", according to the manager i was talking to).
There has been no word about the type of people who are going to lose jobs, but i would be considering my options if you dont have a licence on the A380, A330 or 738.
