Sims in Sydney and Melbourne .
Where are most of the airframes presently sitting ?
What sort of quarantine restrictions will be placed on ferry crew , there in the USA plus on return to Australia ?
Who is going to put their hand up for such a sh!t storm privilege ?

With the 2019-2020 yearly to be announced tomorrow, does anyone have any thoughts on AJ 3 year plan and what changes he will make? What reductions to crew and cabin crew will be made to all of the group in particular QF and Jetstar?
747, 380 787 Jetstar 787 maybe even 330 crew will be surplus to requirements then 737 and 320 how much surplus is there as there is no end in sight for domestic borders opening up.
Surely the 3 year plan announced in May will have changed and the crew numbers needed will have changed, also given a vaccine will be at least 12-18 months away Qantas will want to reduce cash burn even further to even survive past December 2021.

Stage 3 trial results due in November, so its not inconceivable that if successful (as early results suggest it will be), the vaccine will be widely available in Australia by early 2021.
There is cause for cautious optimism.

With so much changing on a week by week basis why would Qantas make a decision now? Better to sit on their hands for a bit longer. Can always re-visit fleet/ crewing plans in early 2021 and adjust accordingly.

Listening to a professor on the Jim Wilson show this afternoon, he said that it takes up to 20 yrs to produce a vaccine however he mentioned there usually only a hand full of company's making them. With Covid-19 there is 160 companies trying to produce a vaccine which is unheard of, rightly so given what is at stake. 12-18 month time frame by the professor was a reference for production and distribution then administer the dose then waiting for it to be effective with in the population.
Greg Hunt this morning said it would be early 2021 even if the vaccine was successful. Early 2021 has not really been defined is it January or April!

IMO there will be little change announced tomorrow from the recovery plan announced in June (not May btw).
I’ve also noticed most of the time management tend to announce big changes when they’re ready to be announced, not wait until results day.

Oh for f%#k sake,,,,, straight from the source, "IF" the vaccine is successful (meets benchmark criteria) we will know by the end of 2020, mass production can begin around April 2021, it will then take 12 months before sufficient numbers have been vaccinated, before restrictions can be lifted completely.

They are just like everyone else- hoping for the best (“our 3 year plan is unchanged” & “5h!t this vaccine better work!”) but in the background they are planning for the worst (“where are we going to slash next to save the company?”)

But I was countering Ragnor's hypothesis that an announcement would be made today regarding a changing of the 3 year plan.
I'm sure they're war gaming many scenarios.
