Sly, if by yours or anyone elses actions, you undercut my pay rate at my company, then it is my business.
The QF rate for 767 should be the benchmark for flying a 767 in Australia. By accepting less than that from QF, lets not kid ourselves, that what AA is, then you participate in the ongoing undermining of the entire Australian profession.
This is not a "let them eat cake" attitude. It is about preserving hard won rates and conditions.
The flow on effects from having the AA aircraft crewed by mainline QF are obvious. MORE JOBS at proper pay rates. Not more jobs at devalued rates and conditions.
Any management type at QF and elsewhere must be overjoyed by some of the sentiments expressed here.
