More than 100 pilot and 500 management positions are likely to be victims of Qantas’s latest round of job slashings, inspired as a result of a forecast of a drop in profits due to “rapid and significant deterioration of trading conditions in the past few weeks”.
Full-time international cabin crew, airport staff and baggage handlers, are also in the sights of QF’s CEO, Alan Joyce.
Qantas international services have been most seriously affected, with domestic loadings falling less dramatically.
Qantas has slashed their forecast down to $100 million from the previous $500 million.
