the almost absurd level of remuneration that exists at the corporate level will you have tackled the cost issue.
What utter nonsense. Slashing the salaries etc. of those at the top will have minimal impact on the bottom line but if you let the scalpel loose where there is critical mass, you will have quite an impact. The cost levels in ALL parts of Qantas are on the high side however I would put the view that the main reason for Jetstar's creation was to tackle what are/were, in the main, extravagent terms/conditions enjoyed by Mainline crew.
