Own the Flying
Yes we DID own that type of flying.
Longhaul/International whatever you want to call it.It WAS ours.
The company had been at us for years to do shorthaul/domestic flying we declined.
Occasionaly when shorthaul capacity was short we would run a jumbo up and down the east coast or across to Perth.
Trips you lot didn't enjoy anyway.
We respected your circumstances and your flying.
The same courtesy was not extended to us.
Our network is shrinking for two main reasons
1.QF management have got no idea about pioneering new routes or how to be competitive.
2.The wetbacks from shorthaul
If you have a look at the background of some the senior management in this company you will find many are ex TAA.
They lived for years in a cosy duopoly with Ansett.
They weren't required to be be innovative or competitive.
A zero skillset for running an international airline in an incredibly competitive environment.
The same zero skillset applies to shorthaul doing international flying.
You have absolutely no idea how to operate a longhaul sector or solve associated problems.
The shorthaul/anal attitude toward groundstaff is becoming legendary throughout Asia.
Groundstaff have asked who they need to talk about the unprofessional behaviour of shorthaul Pursers(they are not CSMs bootlaces)
We have obliged them with this information.
Take a good look at yourself.
All those years of duopoly have made you complacent and recalcitrant.
Wake up and get with the programme!!
