Ultralights, just have a look at the number of staff Qantas has to run a 100 or so aircraft. Some 38,000.
Qantas ,if it was fair dinkum in cutting costs ,should be able to achieve this with a hell of a lot less staff, like other legacy carriers do.
The fat ain't in flight ops, it doesn't appear to be in cabin crew, last time I looked it wasn't in check-in staff, it doesn't appear to be in bag snatching ranks, it most certainly isn't in Engineering, so where are all those excess staff sitting?
Here's a hint, have a look around QCA, over the road in the TNT building and anywhere else the pen pushers and middle management types hang out and take long lunches.
