So you are saying if pilots take a pay cut of, say, 10%, this is what the future of the company swings on?
The future of Qantas
absolutely, definitely swings on them being able to reduce their wages bill. Whether 10% is enough of a reduction, I don't know - but would suspect not.
Your words..... $1 dollar per fu$king ticket?
I have spent about 20 minutes looking at this statement and cannot work out what you are saying - or what it is you think I have said.
The pilots could receive a pay increase of 10% and I would wager that QF would save more than the $1 a ticket in goodwill, consultants fees ...
I would take you up on that wager. Sure, there would be great goodwill from the pilots but this would only last for a few weeks. Goodbye Qantas.
