Qantas management simply do not want to deal with unions. They have stated, that they do not want to have to consult unions in regards to future plans.
Unfortunately for them, Qantas IS a unionized work force, otherwise they would be dealing with 35000 separate employees.
If they took the time to remove their heads from their arses and then the trough of greed and actually consult with the unions then QF might have a fighting chance!!
What the F#ck do we need 110 A320's for???... are all the other airlines getting it so wrong operating wide body aircraft between Asia and Australia???
This management either needs to change their strategy or leave, if Qantas is to survive into the futute... or even the next 5 years.
