Excellent posts -Sunfish and Capt Kremin.
I have been in contact with GetUp. They are interested,though are waiting for some political and media "noise" first. Well maybe the Senate Inquiry findings could give them some fodder.
I am truly astounded at that the language the so called Qantas "Leaders" use:
...."if they don't take up this offer (APA bid) they are mental"- Margaret Jackson.
....."Behaving like Kamikaze's" -Alan Joyce
......'What planet are these people on given the competitive environment?"-Clifford.
I 'll tell you what planet we are on buddy-Its EARTH. A place where human beings live. People with Families who are trying to do their bit.
But, Clowns like you living in your penthouses etc etc are so out of touch with reality- & blame others when things are not going the way they WANT it.
You have a responsibility to the Shareholders -sure. But what about the actual People who work at this joint.
"Oh yeah-costs are going up-lets just sack the workers and bully others to take pay freezes ,pay cuts and T&C's cuts."
Your arrogance and incompetence are going to bite you on the arse big time over this (and other stuff ups you have "presided" over)
I haven't forgotten the day when you were onboard in 2K and we had a "rolling delay" on a full flight. What did you do??? Bolt to the Qantas P/C lounge ( before anyone else was allowed off). No- introducing your self to the crew, No-is there any thing I can do or say?, Do you want me to talk to the other P/C or J/C pax.??
Its the little things buddy- that make a difference for people. You failed.
Now pack up your Black Leather Gucci bag and leave us to out Planet.
Its 2 minutes to midnight for Qantas. We need REAL STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP.
Making once loyal staff redundant as a way of cutting costs is short sighted, puerile and from a business perspective-unacceptable.
