No, casual employees at Qantas aren't entitled to travel benefits. If they beome full time, they are entitled to travel benefits but not until after six months of full time employment.

In regards to recruitment, I cant see it happening, for the next year or so anyway.

True, we are getting 7 more A330s, but remember they are not going to be 'additional aircraft'.

Before and during the time of delivery of those, we are getting rid of all the B767 200s, and 4 Boeing 767-300s. The A330s are just replacing capacity that we are losing. Read: no additional capacity = no need for additional crew. Plus we still have a heap of crew (Longhaul) on leave without pay etc - all of whom will be comming back over the next year or so.

I may be wrong, but just dont want people falsley getting their hopes up!
