Now that the government has decided that Qantas can maintain the pacific route without competition from Sinagpore Airlines for the time being, lets hope the FAAA lobbies Canberra to secure Austalian jobs.
With the government also likely to lift the current foreign ownership restrictions there should be a trade-off to maintain and RETURN jobs to Australia.
This presents an ideal opportunity for the FAAA to get involved and secure the future of current long haul crew and also create further employment within Australia.
