I'm very well aware of the QF pilot proposed redundancies announced publicly. You want to know how many QF pilots have been made redundant though? 0. A very large number have taken leave without pay and gone to the Middle East while others are being retrained onto other fleets, in particular the B737.

My personal opinion is that while redundancies are needed and have started to occur at QF, the 5000 total redundancies including 300 pilots announced by QF management was a figure pulled out of their butts to scare the Federal Government to bail them out of their financial mess. The problem for QF management though is that the government didn't flinch and management has overplayed their hand.
