Wage increases for the minions equals less profits for shareholders and less bonuses for management. It is what it is. It’s a game that has been played out for many decades and a game that will be played for decades to come.
Never forget that they are willing to take a hit to the bottom line and be as vindictive as a scorned woman if it means breaking the backs of those who stand between them and their profits.
Yes theoretically they can "gift" the aircraft to Jetstar.
That requires a transfer of ownership, which if not already completed would be a rather empty threat.. N'est ce Pas?
It is more than probable that Little Napoleon is running yet another proxy war against staff and that Qantas not Jetstar owns the aircraft. Mr Evans as the CEO in waiting, gets to read the script.
