I have a sneaking suspicion that QF's profits aree coming from winding back "provisions" ie provisions for annual leave, sick leave, long service leave and so on.
Your senior cabin staff are being forced to take leave because the provision has to increased every time they get a pay rise. The less leave "overhang", the less the increase in the provision.
Of course if pilots and others resign in frustration and are replaced with people on "new" (lesser) awards then the provisions can be reduced yet again. The reduction of course goes straight to the bottom line as profit.
Translation : They don't want you. You cost too much.
I'd check the super funds as well. They are frequently used as a hollow log.
