You had a lot of questions for us about the announcement that 6,000 jobs would be cut at Qantas. Here are the answers.

When you consider that the 6,000 redundancies are on top of 15,000 employees who remain stood down,Many of the stood down employees face a long wait until the airline has work for them again .Yes, chief executive Alan Joyce says that's the plan.At a press conference today, he gave this rough timeline for getting employees back to work:

"Around half of those stood down will be back flying domestically, we think, by the end of this calendar year. The remainder, mostly those supporting international flying, will return to work more slowly."As for the 6,000 redundancies, Mr Joyce explained that they referred to jobs that Qantas didn't see being needed "for a long time", which is why he said they were being cut.

He says the market will then get back to 70 per cent of pre-COVID levels in the next year, before reaching 100 per cent the following year. "There is huge demand out there once the borders open up and we can get people to travel in Australia," he said.In fact, he said he wasn't expecting services to resume before July next year, with the possible exception of a "trans-Tasman" bubble with New Zealand.

Once the recovery for international travel begins, it's expected to be long road back, with Qantas expecting international flights to remain at two-thirds of where they were pre-coronavirus in the financial year 2022-23.

If the government can find ways to make it safe for foreign students to come into the country why can’t they do the same with tourists

Why can't Alan Joyce take a 90% pay cut that would still earn him 2milllion a year and use that other 18 million to keep people in jobs?

Is Morrison's plan to get everyone sacked except for him and his inept Govt who actually deserve to be sacked Slash CEO Joyce ($23million)and executives and board - more millions. They do not care about people. Joyce needs to be the first to go that will be a great cost saving measure for Qantas.
