I am aware of the wages but I know many older Australians who cant get a job due to apparent age discrimination who would grab anything, even at low wages at this stage in their lives. The wages are greater than Newstart. If the Tiger CEO is introducing the topic of non discrimination and positive discrimination( if there is such a beast) then she has to look at the whole airline, not just top office jobs and pilots.
If the check in staff included people with a few years of life experience perhaps they could be allowed to use their initiative and actually sort out problems rather than create a whole cohort of ex customers who will never fly with the airline again. During my working airline life we were constantly told that for every customer we lost we needed to find another 7 due to those ones we lost persuading their friends not to fly with our company.
