Having worked in the Qantas Group in various roles for quite a while now I have no faith that the future will be any brighter than the odd 3% payrise. Problem will be this 3% will always come at the cost of some terms and conditions that we will kiss goodbye to for ever. Seriously, the Group is about to announce its biggest profit in history which should cause some celebration or excitement amongst staff due to an expectation that staff will share in that. Sadly though the only discussion around the traps seems to be 'what reason will they give to screw us out of a decent payrise or bonus'. There in is the problem, Qantas does not share in the good times,except for token payments, yet expects staff to share in the bad times through pay freezes or LWOP.
