If Jetstar or Qlink etc can't release someone because they are not sufficiently crewed, (let's be honest, this is purely due to their incompetence, poor terms and conditions or both) and need to hold people back for years, that those crew who were good enough to pass the selection process are not unfairly punished.
For example, someone at Jetstar has spent years being taken advantage of and screwed by a horrible management that see you as nothing but a piece of garbage, that was good enough to pass the process is screwed once more whilst someone who has contributed nothing to Qantas is forever in front of them. It's not that hard to understand.
You’re right, it should be different. Sadly it’s not. The subsidiaries role in QFs eyes are to provide an IR wedge, nothing more.
Jetstar was the first, but as we are seeing, won’t be the last group used and abused in order to drive an IR agenda.
Hopefully we get new direction once we have a new CEO.
