At the end of the day V Oz has made a bare bones investment in this airline. I know many people on this site love a good QF bashing and frankly there are many times they have deserved it, but at the end of the day V Oz is paying Tech and Cabin crew lower than average wages, they are not employing check in staff, not using
VB bag chuckers, no
VB engineers will be trained on the 777 and yet Branson and Godfrey will have you all believe they are gods gift to the industry.
All the maintenance and turn arounds in Aus will be done by Singapore Engineerings poor little brother AMSA, I doubt there will be much training in it for the guys there, any heavy work will be done by SIAEC in Singapore, even though JHAS tried to keep the work in country.
Even though QF management couldn't organise a raffle in a pub they have invested more into the A380 circus than Branson and Godfrey could dream of.
More Australians will benefit financially from flying the A380 than the Oz 777, sad but true, it might give the
VB bosses a warm fuzzy feeling to take on QF but they should start employing more Australians before telling the world they are going to change the world.
