How did Australian pilots allow bean counters and MBA retards to decimate the industry so badly? It really is time for dramatic change.unite the unions and work collaboratively like America.
Because pilots never went into management. Every other industry is controlled by the professions. Mining companies are controlled by the geologists and engineers, medicine by the Doctors, Law Firms by the lawyers etc etc. Somehow though aviation seems to get controlled by people with very little operational knowledge. Boeing are at a existential crisis right now because they stop letting the engineers run the show and are paying folks circa $50 000 000 to screw the joint up and go away. QF could arguably be in a similar position. Time will tell how that ends.
