So everyone votes no and they do it anyway. Fail to see how this benefits anyone apart from the company.
There is no guarantee that their little experiment will even work. Email Andrew David and ask him how well running wet lease operations internationally worked at Virgin. (and that was with their own employees and AOCs!!)
Just because it is legal in one country doesn't mean that every other country will agree. There was a big deal made in the USA over Norwegian using flag of convenience operations and sub contracted labour. (in fact the Unions, Airlines and politicians were united against it) So QF will have to be very careful on how they actually run a wet leased operation. Just because the executive say something doesn't mean it is true or even legal.
