I hate to be the bearer of bad news but probably 30% of us won’t fly for the Qantas Group again in the next 5 years and those that are left will be flying on terms and conditions a lot lower than those we currently enjoy. Qantas will be giving the work that is best suited to the aircraft type and of course that makes them the most money, I was on a dial in the other day and a Jetstar 787 pilot said why not give the domestic work to them as they are cheaper than Qantas crew, answer was, we don’t have 787 logistics set up at domestic terminals such as the loading and boarding system, so although on the face it might be cheaper it would require an outlay that Qantas is not going to spend. I don’t think meal payments are going to be the difference.
