It is not the Lame who is willfully delaying Aircraft that was happening before PIA. It is just more delays now due to the goodwill gone and no one on OT to supplement manpower during heavy workloads. We no longer work thru mealbreaks to see the aircraft out on time. Looking for someone to blame its QE management. We are sick of being insulted.
Mr Dixon took a 26% increase last year. He says it will cost 360 million over the next 3 years to give 36,000 employees who pay taxes, high fuel costs,inflation, and higher interest rates a pay rise just above inflation. The company will make 4.5 billion over the next 3 years. Its peanuts. His 170 million dollar fund to sink us is half that money so wheres the common sense.Why are you trying to kill this Airline.Thank god the takeover bid failed (60 million GD would have made) or QF would have collapsed with their new owners Allco.
Our simple OT bans starting to have impact as MEL's expire and OSIP work backlogs. Let the scabs have their money. But don't give QF any reason to let them or their QF management Lames (most who haven't lifted a tool in decades) near the aircraft for the safety of the flying public.
I don't think there is any need to do anything more at this stage.Its only early days. As the shareholders lose confidence and the delays continue the share price will fall and that hits GD in his own wallet.The only thing he cares about. He would love nothing more than a big fight and it be over. Lets drain them.SLOW AND STEADY WILL WIN THE RACE. They can't continue like this or they will lose their business and first class pax and we all know they are the ones where we make our money.
QF just announced 4% increase infares due oil prices,thats on top of 3% a few months ago. Where is the ACCC> most of Qantas fuel is hedged at $95 a barrell.
