Apparently 10,000 management positions will go, as apparently the airline runs better without them. (As per failed APA bid)

What a joke
I have just read in this months Australian Aviation that its more like 1500 job cuts. I think 10,000-20,000 is a bit excessive. Esspecially since their total workforce is around 36,000.

Perhaps your source is on the sauce. 10,000 people represents close to 33% of the QF workforce, according to page 47 of the QF Fact File (http://www.qantas.com.au/infodetail/about/FactFiles.pdf).
Can't see how shedding 33% of the workforce will help with service delivery, on time performance, or even getting into the air. :uhoh:

Wind up alert!
30% of the workforce?...total BS.
With so many Aircraft on order QF will evetually look to expand its workforce..not reduce it
