Here is yesterdays Sydney International. Overtime bans must be working. I can’t remember the figure for how much each minute of delay is worth, but it is a lot. Perhaps somebody can post this? Look after and listen to your employees and they will look after and listen to you – its NOT that difficult.
Obviously some flights may leave slightly late due late passengers etc (within 15 minutes is considered on time), however the overall trend is there.

How much longer are our passengers going to fly with us with performance like this?
We need to fix such problems and we can't blame the engineers, what they are fighting for is morale, fair and right considering the current profitability of the airline and the irresponsible leadership of upper management. Upper management you created this problem and it is time for you to fix it, show some leadership and start working with your employees so we can all build this airline back to the great airline it once was.
And for the record, just to show that this problem is confined to Qantas and not a Sydney Intl thing, 3 out of 4 of Jetstar’s flights left early or on time.
