Tighslot is on the right track a web site dedicated to the demise of the Qantas brand through the outsourcing of crew to off-shore bases at the expense of Australian jobs plus the casualisation of the Australian short haul workforce may just make people sit up and listen. Factual information about the number of fixed term crew recently ditched in favour of UK nationals, the unlimited use of offshore crew in AO and the list goes on.

For those of us that remember the "exceptional" course the one thing Qantas doesnt want in any shape or form is negative reports about the company and brand out in the public, through the media including internet websites. Rumour has it Qantas threatened to take action against Crikey at one stage, but didnt do any good.

If this website gets up and it becomes known, maybe, just maybe the media may pick up stories and run with them, as all they have at the moment is forums like this which contain quite a bit of friction amoungst each division.
