Is the International part of the business paying for the security guards?
The International part of the business is paying for the rest of the business. That's why it's "bleeding red ink" as was reported in an article today.

For a company that "only" made $500million and has to shed international routes to remain viable while other airlines, including Virgin Australia are expanding at the same rate QF International is contracting makes me wonder and should be making others wonder also.

Nick Xenaphon was chasing up the cost shifting of Jetstar costs onto QF. Hopefully this has the momentum to keep going and expose what is really going on. Jetstar as a standalone entity would fail before long without bleeding QF International.

As for the alleged death threats in today's papers, we can call AJ, OW and the remainder of the executive board all sorts of names, but why? If the employees can band together as a united group and force their hand, we stand a much better chance. Until then, the agenda is set and we are well along the path they have made for themsleves and us.

Let's not get caught up in the media hype. If the management don't get the reaction they're after, they look the fools. Not us.

Disregard what is reported in The Telegraph. Their owner is being investigated for their own wrongdoings, and it is only a glorified tabloid at best.
