Plenty of armchair experts suggesting that outsourcing maintenance to third party providers is standard practice the days. You know the names recently SQ, LH, CX etc for Qantas work.
But why doesn't any media type ask, But is this right?
Is it right to have the results of QF2, 72,30,74, 32 and now it seems the 6. All occurances over the last few years, roll along without questioning the decisions of outsourcing?
The words from those lost in all of this, are those with the skills, ie Engineers and pilots. And no one is happy with direction that Messers Joyce, Clifford and the remainder of the board are steering.
Perhaps more attention to the main game here of Qantas as opposed to ramming the benefits of the Jestarisation of everything down everyones throat, would be a more prudent approach from the board and ceo.
And this is not a crack Jetstar per se, but the focus of the entire senior management for the last 5+ years has certainly not been on Qantas and the good people of qantas. They are all driven by one thing, their bonus. They don't believe in Qantas and what it use to stand for.
The results lately are pretty damning.
