Jimmy Pop posted a thread that quoted 'including pilots' being retrenched. If you have a look at the QF press release there is NO mention of pilots getting the flick. Further, if you've listened to Geoff Dixon at the press conferences, there are NO reports of pilots going there either.

Of course, when Geoff says 'company wide' that doesn't mean that pilots WON'T be affected. However, QF have had downturns like this before (post Sep 11 for example) where similar numbers of staff were laid off and yet Flight Ops were still recruiting at the time. Don't believe you read everything you read in the media.
