yep, read the CP blog. Others refer to a memo, which is what Im after.

So now the numbers have gone from 100, with AIPA believing no CR will be required, to 300.

Why the F*&k can't these idiots communicate with their staff properly. Why do we always find **** out in the media.

Qantas is understood to be seeking less than 100 redundancies among the 550 767 and 747 pilots in its workforce. Overall, the airline has around 2000 pilots in its mainline operations.

Mr Safe said there were no signs the airline would need to make additional pilots redundant based on the fleet plan it has presented to the market to date.
"The plan seems to be to target the fleet that has surplus," he said. "It is my belief given the known flying changes we won't need to go down the compulsory redundancy path."



Qantas has started a major pilot redundancy program for the first time in decades that will ultimately target as many as 300 pilots it believes are excess to the financially troubled and shrinking airline's needs.

In the first instance Qantas will attempt to meet its targets for captains and first officer retrenchments voluntarily, but it is unlikely to achieve this. Ultimately, it will probably move to involuntary redundancies.
