Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce has said the remaining 2500 job cuts would be the result of ''fuel, fleet simplification and efficiencies'', citing the retirement of Qantas' Boeing 767 fleet by early next year.
I'm convinced the 5000 was just a figure dreamt up to frighten the government (which it didn't) and please the market (which it hasn't) and QF management have no idea how they are going to get there and who will be affected. The drip-drip of redundancies will continue for years and morale will remain "in the toilet".
