Odd that there’s no mention of JQ 787 redundancies. Fair enough Per base due no DPS flying, but closing NTL ? Surely there’s more demand for NTL tech crew than SO’s for the next three years. If any intl comes back it’s probably going to be DPS runs and Japan ex CNS. The longer three crew runs weren’t doing well even pre rona anyway from what I heard. I.e HNL.

GE email today wanting to reduce 550 AUSNZ no indication of pilots or cabin crew, NTL and PH crew will be given options For a base most likely limited choices given the environment. 787 crew stood just like QF international. All in all JQ pilots NB and WB will be stood up as needed no word of any being made redundant.
The NTL maintenance base is also being closed and moved to Melbourne. I think that JQ over time will move to only have 3 major bases. What the current situation has demonstrated is that the bigger bases are easier to administer.
Gotta lol at the mods quickly closing a second Qantas thread, despite 5 or 6 near-identical VA threads jockeying for top spot on the forums.. Not saying this shouldn’t have been merged, just noting the double mod standards when it comes to the daily new “Sky is falling” VA thread..

Of course not. But most other nights the poor VA guys and girls are subjected to new threads proclaiming that their place of employment will cease to exist (usually supported by a single new news article).
Just asking the mods to take note of this tidy up and apply it to the other threads as well.

A380 crew will be back.
Unfortunately it will be in an A350. But it’s better than the alternative and I gather after 3 years they’ll take anything...
Aviation really really sucks sometimes.
My gut feeling is however the recovery will be a lot faster than anyone imagined. Travel demand is still
there. It’s just restricted. As soon as the stimulus ticket sales go out, the seats will fill up and people will get moving. Just like domestic.

What I mean is you can crap on and whinge but real international unrestricted travel is long off, at least a year for bubbles and 2-3 years for unrestricted travel, It’s dead in the water....
Hong Kong just revived 26 positive Covid results off a inbound Emirates flight from Doha. From memory it was something like people in rows 20,22, 24, 26, 30, 32 etc etc. No one is saying they caught it on the aircraft but do you really think Australia and NZ are just going to import plane loads of Covid passengers from around the world. The fallout from Victoria should be enough to guide the jeez it may be the dregs but it is half full types. People can have desires, but that won’t get you through customs.
Once there’s a vaccine it’ll be like the malaria pills we used to have to take. You get a shot and you head overseas.
I fully suspect though like SARs, it’ll burn out and become less severe and more like a common cold.
