Amazing - a satisfied employee.
Should be stuffed and mounted outside QF HQ just to prove the unicorn does exist!
He isn’t wrong. Qantas management have done an incredible job keeping the company going during the pandemic. Shareholders seem, for the most part, very happy with how things are tracking. Management have been able to restructure their business, increase the rate of outsourcing of the workforce and have secured billions of dollars of federal and state government funding.

They’ve let their aircrew workforce suffer to achieve this, but we are our own worst enemies for letting them. How many ‘flexibilities’ are we providing to the contract at the moment? What will we do when they call us back and offer pay freezes and 2% p.a. increases thereafter? We’ll all rush back no questions asked.

We pilots are exceedingly compliant and AIPA is more of a survey company than a Trade Union these days. Is it any wonder that the company dictate terms when we have let them do it repeatedly over the last two decades?
