JETSTAR has warned a Thai labour hire firm it faces the sack if threats to fatigued cabin crew continue, as they deal with fatigue allegations of their own. The airline has written to Tour East Thailand, of which Qantas owns 37 per cent, requiring it to retract letters to five Bangkok-based flight attendants who pulled out of a Sydney to Melbourne flight complaining of fatigue.
The letters said poor time management was not acceptable and required promises the crew would not repeat their behaviour. It also castigated them for damaging Jetstar's reputation.
Like I said in an earlier post, notifying your manager you are fatigued so you can be relieved for the shift is likely to have an effect of being relieved of your employment.
Disgusting behaviour, I'm very suprised the part owner had no idea this was going on.
The rationale of deny deny deny, impossible, never, not on our watch, safety is our #1 concern - oh wait, we were misled besides we won't control that company, we're minority shareholders, we apologize, we will sack our own part owned company if they do this again. Naughty Naughty!
