Greetings!
I've come into this discussion rather late
Kaptain M, I find your comments about the o/s salaries interesting; especially concerning the potential outsourcing of FAs to London. Who's to say that the outsourcing to London will not be similar to that done in Thailand, where the FAs are not Qantas employees but that of a service company. These FAs are paid in Thai Bahts and do not have the same award conditions as Qantas FAs, but fly as one of them. Does't that make the argument of higher o/s salaries o/s moot?
Could this be the real reason that Qantas has floated this caper?
