...........but is it possible that this has nothing to do with pilot wages or any other industrial shenannigans?
Yes, but it appears the crew operated in an appropriate manner. As you would expect,... as the passengers expect and pay for. The thing that is galling, is the way in which qantas
pr promotes its relationship with its pilots and other staff in times like these.
Only last week, the union representing qantas mainline pilots, was yet again told to f$ck *&^ in no uncertain terms, whilst attempting to gain future work for qantas pilots.
In complete contrast to the usual "experienced qantas pilots" line that comes out today.
One has to wonder why qantas treats such an asset, like pilots and other staff, as they do.
Its summed up by the word RESPECT or lack there of. And it covers all front line staff in qantas. Those very staff that will be at the forefront today dealing face to face with the public and not on the end of a phone trying to spin some rubbish to sky news.
