And get laid off again during the next round of cost cutting?
The carrot better be a big one with chocolate coating. Qantas has toyed with little peoples' lives for many years while the managers have fed at the trough. I trust any smart LAME who applies for the position/s will factor in the cost of getting laid off within a short period of time with no advance warning when he/she negotiates the renumeration. Despite what the managers might say during the interview, Qantas already has a history of doing just that.
