Not Only But also
The company continues to tell anyone who will listen that the LHR base is cost effective and offers the highest level of customer service.
The truth will never be known but it is very clear that it is designed to drive down wages and offshore Australian jobs.
Patterns like this are jaw droppingly inefficient.Bear in mind the QAL CC EBA is up for renegotiationThese patterns are perhaps a warning shot across the bows.Currently QAL operate only one LHR a day.Perhaps the intention is to make ALL flights to LHR(Ex Oz) operated by the LHR base.The FAAA are a very weak group.They approve and allow patterns like this by not contesting them
There is definitely an agenda here
