Just a suggestion, but I would, if I were you, be putting in your protest to your local MP and get everyone you know to do so also. Not just about job losses but the fact that the very airline itself is under threat of closure and moving offshore for cheaper parts and labor. (which is probably the ultimate game). It won't long before some MP becomes uncomfortable about it, and brings it to question time. It cannot hurt, the more its out there the better chance you have of arresting it. This is no longer about just jobs, its about a company under seige by the very people who run it. All QF unions now need to get together, and form a fighting force, because you cannot win this fight alone, not any more. We all know QF can knock the socks off other airlines if given the chance, it is a world favorite, and like TE it can stay in its own country and operate well with the right CEO and the staff right behind him/her. Its up to you all now, do you sink or swim? Lets see a bit of that Anzac spirit, better to be beaten standing, than on your knees. Its worth fighting for, it really is.
