Galleychick,

I suspect prune readers will be bombarded with rumours designed to instill fear, uncertainty, and insecurity into the minds of it's staff given the upcoming EBA negotiations.

The intent behind them is part of a "softening up process" , so don't be fooled by smiley faces and words like, "good luck".

There are any number of permutations, options, plans available to Qantas and I'm surprised our "friends" post stopped short of mentioning the use of robots and vending machine to replace Qantas's "too expensive" longhaul crew.

Much will ride on the outcome of this years federal election and there is no shortage of community AND political opposition to the sale of this Australian icon.

The only thing that CAN be guarranteed is the continued "cluster f@#k" that has become our international operations.

Another performance bonus to the office dwelling moron responsible for the English language movies [with CHINESE subtitles] shown on the main screen of the economy cabin, to and from Seoul.
