There's simply no room in the world these days for those sorts of cushy practises of the 1950s and 1960s mindset, and I make no apologies for expecting any business, let alone one the size and important of Qantas, to be running like a business.
Meanwhile, management is on the Gravy Train Express..........no stops till Retirementville.
