Mr. Joyce boasts of the long term profitability of the airline, yet in another place states that even maintaining the purchasing power of Pilots and Engineers wages is too much for this airline to bear???????????
Sunfish,
Even you would know that profitability in the past does not guarantee profitability in the future.
The essence of the Qantas position is that there will be no future profit unless current costs (pilot salaries) can be dramatically reduced.
From the Qantas perspective, this is the
whole point of the issue.
There is no evidence on this thread (or any of the dozen others) that anybody actually grasps this important little detail.
No future profit = no future job. It is that simple.
If you think Joyce is lying, then just sit back and watch what happens to your job.
