Passengers flying some routes such as Tokyo-Sydney and Sydney-Cairns will also earn fewer status credits. Qantas told its members there would be no changes to the number of points needed for a ''classic award'', or how members use their points for a chosen reward. The changes come into force on July 1. The overhaul comes as a leaked internal document revealed that Qantas will cut 26 managers over coming months from across its business, including Jetstar, as part of 5000 job cuts. The memo to staff named 26 senior managers who will be leaving, including Qantas International security head Steve Tregarthen, senior engineering manager Gavin Harris and Jetstar executive strategy manager Max Kownatzki. Simon Chamberlain, who led the new travel booking site Hooroo, will also leave Jetstar.
