Thats a good point I was surprised when I flicked through the Annual Report and Qantas states they have grown jobs by x% which equals the equivalent of x number of permanent positions.
Included in their growth however, is a handful of permanent positions for cabin crew within Australia the rest made up of casuals through an external contact company, part-timers, contractors, off-shore and the list goes on.
Excellent creative report writing with the operative word being equivalent without the equivalent conditions and working standards of permanent employees.
