Qantas are reportedly offering to pay $40m to ensure a merger with Valuair goes through.
So...the crew are expected to fund their own futures by opening up offshore bases (to save $16m)...yet when an overseas venture fails appalingly, $40m isn't something to be concerned about as a shareholder???
The savings created by LHR seem to pale in comparison, don't they? Nothing like foolish pride to dampen your spirits!
