Mr Seatback 2

I can see your point of view, but if memory serves me correct
these interviews took place before the SARS outbreak and
Iraq war, since then Singapore Airlines have cut their payroll
as well as others.

So put yourself in Mr Dixons position who is also responsible
to the shareholders in the company, and also look at the many
aviation sites around that are full of the dire and average cabin
crew service stories on longhaul, and you may see the man has got a problem.

It was only last year that the super funds and financial institutions
raised $800 million in 16 hours at $4.20 per share, today the
share price is $3.45.

Finally in the past 3 weeks I have flown 2 sectors up to Asia
with QF, and from my observation too many QF F/As have reached
their use-by date, the service compared to Singapore, Emirates
and Cathay Pacific was dire, IMHO QF needs young, fresh and
enthusiastic cabin crew the likes who fly for Impulse and DJ whom
in my opinion are fantastic.

My 2 cents
