Staff travel Generates Income

Around 10 years ago Staff travel generated around $11million dollars in revenue.Since the cost of Staff Travel to the company is minimal the profit generated was generous.
If Staff Travel was better packaged it would generate more revenue.
As it is at present it is more cost effective for many staff to travel on carriers other than Qantas.
It is surprising that the bean counters havent realized that staff travel customers are going elsewhere and as a result Qantas is losing revenue.
These seats would otherwise be empty if not for staff and would therefore be revenue neutral.
As an aside there is very little food left in J and P class after the pirahna masquerading as customers have finished.J and P class could be quite easily renamed O class(O for Obese).
FF is actually an acronym for "farking fat"
