Stubby Jumbo, if you look at the records, QF like lemmings over a cliff, go thru this mad crazy sacking people, especially people who are experienced every couple of years. THEN they rehire people who know bugger all. This is a ongoing problem, that has been going on for the last 12 years or so. Why????? who knows. Qantas really flies in spite of itself, due to its amazing, weary, frustrated, long suffering staff. And then they sack them. They need to send a army of psychologists into this mob to find out what makes them tick and why they do what they do.
