$45,000 p.a to Fly 747 - No Joke
The current CEO would be happy to pay 747 pilots $45,000 to fly 400+ people around the globe. He has alway said he believes wages are to high for everyone other than him.
If you can get a pilot on a AWA on $45,000 to fly 747, why not. The new I.R laws will allow for this.
The single biggest cost for Qantas is man power. So you watch as all LAME's are fired, flight crews imported from overseas.
Qantas IS NOT an Australian airline, it is a company with a few employees who are going to be forced to eat sh%t and thank the Board of Directors for it, and yes the great man Mr Dixon.
When do issues of safety come into play?? We all remember bangkok and idle reverse on a wet runway, with crosswind.
