Actually, we're not on a high-horse. I was repeating what was said to us at our recent seminar. The EGMs of Qantas, Australian Airlines, Qantas Regional Airlines, and also Janine Stewart all agreed that this was NOT just a business decision. The outcome was definitely influenced by the reputation of AO crew. So you can hardly say we are arrogant to think this way when we are being told this by senior Qantas management.
Had it simply been a "business decision" I think the outcome would have been a lot different. Think about it, when was the last time Qantas employed 300 permanent cabin crew? Years ago. My last post was simply stating that we are so grateful for the outcome and we are very pleased that Qantas has recognise our hard efforts since 2002. I never said AO crew were any better or worse than other Qantas group crew. Go back and read my last post midnight-63.
