Had an interview recently and was tarnished because i had worked for Qantas for many years. And this came from someone in the industry, who had never had anything to do with QF. Was quite funny when he said they were looking for LAMEs that would tow aircraft, keep there aeroplanes flying, work shift, show flexibility with rosters and so on.
Although i left QF because i was unhappy with alot of ****, but to hear others commenting on a place that they no little about, and tarnishing them with these reasons, i must say did piss me off, and to all QF staff i will be educating them in due course..
LOW
Unfortunately that is the general view of prospective employers in Oz -outside of QF. It's a shame but it's true... the 'he must come with old school QF, union baggage' perception is hard to break, even though many who are looking elsewhere do so to rid themselves of those shackles.
Good luck with the interview outcome
