Yes, fuel was hedged, how much and at what rate I'm not sure. However I wasn't referring to the cost per tonne, but the fact that 95% of the fleets grounded thus we aren't burning $1.3B this FY.

That would cost more.
Redundancy for a junior SO/F20 is ~$20- $30k
Redundancy for a 777 Captain is closer to $400k... more when you payout their accrued & long service leave.
Plus Court costs.
