Hi Megan,
So 2 Qantas purchased . . . . .
The first flight operated not by Qantas but Network Aviation, a lower cost subsidiary who's flight crew are currently embroiled in long running industrial action trying to secure the minimum award wage and industry standard rostering practices focussed on acceptable rest periods.
The second downgraded to JetStar, a Qantas low cost subsidiary. The Newcastle to Adelaide flight was to be operated by a contacted company, not Qantas nor Qantas owned.
The public paying premium fares to travel with Qantas have a right to be aware of this.
