RC
RC is one of Olivia’s angels. Or perhaps has less experience in aviation than even she does. Perhaps it’s another QF manager that hates his own kind.
All the poorly paid QF subsidiaries are struggling to attract suitable candidates.
Market forces go both ways. All the 457 visas under the sun won’t change that.
US Airline pay is up over 40% now. Given 2 CPT and 2 FOs in USA, Qantas crew in AUD terms are now cheaper. China pays over 400k net for a 737 CPT. EK is short of crews and cancelling flights as Tim Clark has mentioned publicly. Forbes and Bloomberg hate pilots as much as Reality Chezh and even they admit to the massive shortage.
CEO and Exec pay in Qantas is the highest in the globe by a long margin. Even the right wing media are disgusted by it. The public think it’s obscene.
Qantas office staff per aircraft the highest in the globe.
Shortage is real. You know it when the Angels are going fishing on PPRUNE.
8 Flights a day cancelled in QF domestically a day due crew shortages.
