Wow alot of paranoid conspiracy theorists here
Nothing is going to change with the new ownership structure that couldn't have happened before anyway. Qantas will use the aircraft however they want and will pay the crews directly vs via Cobham.
A win for the 717 crews but but otherwise ops normal.
Qantas were already calling the shots on the operation and the crew all had QF staff numbers previously.
Any tardiness in the operation is entirely QF doing as they own majority of the frames, determine the spares inventory, even determine the crewing levels and run the day of operations, I believe they even did half of the maintainance having taken most of it from Cobham years ago.
For all the naysayers, the only people with the potential to loose from this are some back.office and management types in Adelaide, even so it would be reasonable to assume many will be absorbed into the rest of the Cobham operation .
