On the money reeltime. It defies belief, however true.
The short term view is the strongest in managements eyes. It is through good luck that the pilot t&c trojan horse, aka as 'the jetstar contract that you qantas blokes will have', has been struck down with equine influenza due to the shortage of crew available immediately. (And this isn't a shot at jetstar crew.) However, had Dixon had what he really wanted, the carnage on mainline terms and conditions would have already commenced within the current eba negotitions.
And as for the premium punter, I feel sorry for the rubbish that is being delivered, when it comes to aircraft, on time performance and on board service.
