Qantas Recruitment
No extra A321XLRs ordered as promised. They said there would be narrow body orders as they want 40+ 321s. There's 75 737s to be replaced over a decade...
24 Wide Bodies but 28x A330s and 12x A380s to go over a decade including the four frames lost since covid.
Very disappointing.

For the first time in a long time I’m seeing a positive outlook for mainline, despite the naysayers and negative Nannie’s here.
The Finnair wet lease is hard to swallow but part of a larger deal that will be of benefit to mainline - eventually. Unfortunately, patience is required and we’re all very cynical after the last couple of decades.
im right there with you buddy. Just pointing out the facts. It’s easy to be completely negative, but it makes life depressing. Finally some orders for mainline, perhaps these are the ‘green shoots’ we’ve been waiting 20 years for.

I will try and look at it in a more positive way though. There are some good signs. As you say, life’s too depressing otherwise.

Two weeks ago flight ops said they expect to hire 1800-2000 pilots over the next decade. 700 retirements.
Now it's been revised to 1500
Sounds to me like the long term plans to expand aren't going to be as good as people had hoped.

From what I’ve been told there will be 8 A330’s and all 10 A380’s still flying until 2023. So these orders are on top of those, plus the 12 Sunrise aircraft, plus the 14 787’s we already have.
So this order definitely represents growth.

So all things considered that’s roughly what I would’ve expected from a 10 year plan.
For instance there’s about 700 Captains in mainline now, after the extra flying is in the network (which is about 2027 I believe) there’ll be 900, and then all the extra vacancies which will be created by retirements which start up again from 2025 onwards.

They pull this **** every time. Selective words on a slide under a pic of smiling crew and hey presto last year’s pre-tax EBA-contingent bonus is new again. No chance anyone will ask about it at the happy clap session/town hall.

Can someone tell this mob to match ‘bonuses’ to income (progressive bonus system).
$6,000 means a lot more to a MAM or Altara cabin crew member on $40k and paying 15% tax a year then it does to a Pilot on $250k paying 45%.

we are not getting a 6k bonus. We are getting $500 staff travel credits and a recycled bonus we earned over 2 years ago. We have bent over backwards for this piece of s@#$ company and this seems to be one last dildo in the a*$ from Joyce. Honestly this mob is dispicable.
