The other thing is that Staff at most of the airlines are not scared for their jobs anymore. Too much scaremongering from management about what could happen, when in reality we all know the industry is booming. So a lot of feeling from staff that if they want to keep pushing the whole doom and gloom, fine, let it fail, someone else will buy the company and do better by everyone. The two way street has become so one way now that staff have given up giving back and just working the day and forgetting about any extra miles as it's not recognised by anyone, its the same for all airlines in Australia at the moment.

The baggage handlers claims sum it up, they feel overworked, underpaid and undervalued, and they know they don't have many other people wanting to do the job. Which is a problem across the board in aviation now, so many other jobs that are easier with less commute that pay similar or more with far less hassels, security, rules etc.
