Qantas Group outlined (25-Jun-2020) the following impacts on its staff members, with plans to consult relevant unions. These span the following areas of Qantas and Jetstar:
- Non operational: At least 1450 job losses, mainly in corporate roles;
- Ground operations: At least 1500 job losses across airports, baggage handling, fleet presentation and ramp operations;
- Cabin crew: At least 1050 job losses due to early retirement of Boeing 747 fleet and less aeronautical activity;
- Engineering: At least 630 job losses due to early retirement of Boeing 747 fleet and less aeronautical activity, as well as redistribution of work from Jetstar's Newcastle base to make better use of maintenance capacity in Melbourne;
- Pilots: At least 220 job losses mostly due to the retirement of Boeing 747s, with a further 2900 pilots stood down from Jul-2020 onward.
Additional reduction in total roles will result from contractors, particularly in corporate areas such as IT, not returning. [more - original PR]
