I think you are miss guided. When the 767 finished, QF is entirely in their right to make redundant crew on that fleet that are senior to those on other fleets. A year 5 SO on the A380 is a safer position than a 767/747 crew member.
Incorrect SWH. I've confirmed with 2 x QF colleagues, one of whom is on the committee that, no, QF cannot make crew redundant out of seniority just because a particular fleet is winding down. There is a contractual process to follow, and it is based on seniority.

A 5th year A380 S/O is in a much precarious position than someone senior to him/her on another fleet. By way of example, one of the most junior -400 F/Os has almost 20 years seniority in the company. To imply that 'QF is entirely in their right to make redundant crew ... that are senior to those on other fleets' is a very long bow to draw.

Back to the original thread.
