Looks like Keg is one of the few who passed reading comprehension.
Kimir and Longjohn go and read Kegs post again.
That's the whole point. Qantas Mainline keeps getting thrown in their face by management that they are not cost competitive , yet there is a whole plethora of added costs lumped on Mainline pilots that are of Managements doing that the pilots have little or no control over, yet Mainline pilots are expected to keep giving things up and going above and beyond to keep the show on the road ,in order to stay in the race, yet management don't or can't seem to change things that they control such as over training which is expensive ,cutting overall staffing levels per aircraft across the entire company to sensible levels etc. Why is that? AIPA and Qantas pilots continually rally to the cause yet it appears more and more to be Management who can never stick to a deal and keep their end of the bargain up.
That is the huge bugbear of many Qantas pilots at present, the unscrupulous Management types that have to be dealt with .
It would appear to be a prerequisite that in order to join the exalted ranks of Qantas management one must have a Moral Compass that needs degaussing in a serious way.
PS: sfoxs I seem to recall there was a post somewhere here referring to the fact that all this jetconnect thing that has blown up isn't the impending implementation of the -800's but rather a lot of internal Qantas discussion about massive expansion of Jetconnect.
