Speedbirdhouse,
I don't think that qf needs the new I.R laws to effectively screw Aust. airline employees. Could have and would have happened under the existing laws. And when jetstar international is bedded in and business class added just watch G.D screw the longhaulers as well . It is just plain morally wrong but business and, in particular airline business ,morality and ethics just do not exist. He doesn't have to change any existing awards or take on any unions -just merely reduce the amount of work available under existing awards and let natural attrition take it's course.
The saddest thing is that the general public won't give a damn .
