JB down the road was backed into a corner by the qf jq pincer but has trumped them with his current tactic.
The last reports I read were that Qantas as making a profit and Virgin wasn't. Hasn't this been so for most of
VB's life? I think that the jury is out on JB and Virgin despite his initiatives. I hope he succeeds. If reports can be believed, is it not true that
VB pays its pilots about 20% less than Qantas for more hours and VA even less pay; the uncontested reports are that the TWU just signed up for an EBA which gives its workers 17% less than Qantas workers get now; not much is said publicly on
VB LAMES money matters but isn't all VA maintenance done overseas except for that which is contracted out in Australia to employers who employ contractors and isn't that what the AALEA job security claim is all about?
BSD: I may live in Canberra but not all Canberrans don't work for the pollies. Some us have real jobs.
