What utter garbage. Easiest workforce to reduce terms eh?
Well let’s see.
Baggage handlers - Gone. All sacked.
Fleet Presentation (cleaners) - Sacked.
Engineers - Jobs sent off-shore a decade ago.
Flight attendants - New pay rates for Domestic and International F/A’s who work 50% more for half the pay. Started 15 years ago and now the majority of the work force.
Mainline pilots - not a single forced redundancy and still the highest paid pilots in the country.
So yeah, really looks like AIPA are doing a sh1t job. But it’s probably easy, everyone knows Qantas are always keen to look out for their employees.
