WRONG !!!!
The average Aussie does care about the Icon that is Qantas ( eg MSN vote), BUT at the end of the day they want it all for the lowest possible price.
Just have a look around on the road .......how many Hyundai's, Kia's and Protons do you see. ?? All cheap imitations of a quality products ie. Aussie made Holdens and even ( some) Aussie made Toyota's. Why does the average punter buy this rubbish????

Get in the real world buddy.
Joe Public perceive ALL "crew" as people who swan around the world, stay @ 5-stars and are overpaid.
Our Ace card is the "collective" crew group ( S/H + L/H ).
These circling vultures are only interested in 1 thing-making more money.
You cannot strip much more yield from the assets(aircraft) -they are being flogged already. The ONLY way to gain more money is to strip the workforce down to the barest of margins.
Just read about those who has been involved with this mob ( Continental airlines/US Air staff !!)
On another note, I had a phone call today from my Manager asking me would I like to be part of a "focus group" to help lift crew ENGAGEMENT.
My reply: "I'm too busy............not interested!! "
