Qantas was run by pilots,
pilots love safe aircraft,
pilots love engineers,
qantas enginners maintained aircraft so well boeing asked qantas how to modify aircraft.
bookeepers took over qantas wanted to make money
to many qualified engineers(lames)
lets replace them with less skilled workers
no,lets save more money lets sack our skills base
lets run engineering into the ground and outsourse everything save more money.
the founders of qantas would be p***** off what you did to this once great company
