Ken ,
It's a matter of fact, Qantas is overstaffed to buggery with regard to Staff/ aircraft ratio.
Where is the fat?
As I've stated elsewhere. It ain't in Engineering, it ain't in cabin crew, it aint in the pilot ranks, it ain't with check in or ground staff.Qantas does appear though to be blessed with blunts flying desks.
Perfect example would have to be QCA.
As stated elsewhere ,it's amazing how the airline still continues to operate over public holidays isn't it.No suits scurrying around, just the ops people doing their thing.Does Qantas really need all those suits and pen pushers?
