It may minimise the impact on some longer flights, but contrary to the way some media organisations are depicting it, the dispute is not between Qantas and the refuellers rather between the refuellers and their employer who happens to supply fuel to Qantas. However yes; the current Qantas executive do have a history of subverting strike action by any means legal or dubiously legal and regardless of the goodwill impact it may have on their customers. Goodwill towards staff (and vice versa) began disappearing during the tenure of the previous CEO and has been non-existent in operational fields since the current CEO took office.
