Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce upped the stakes in his negotiation with staff over the upcoming London to Sydney route, telling reporters there was “no shortage of pilots” ready to take on the assignment.
Talking as he announced cuts to services to Asia, he said, “I’ve had the letter from a captain from China Southern who says he’s been laid off in recent issues there, and he can get hundreds of captains from China and Asia to operate Project Sunrise if we want to.”
Well Alan you’ve just dropped the ball there.
So if the Qantas pilots don’t play ball you’ll present a multi billion dollar proposal to the board at the end of March detailing how the proposal all hinges on a letter you’ve received from a CSA pilot?
Give me a break!
Good luck with that!
