The way I see it ....
If the sentiments shown in PPRUNE are representative of the majority of Qantas employees, then it's fair to say that ... Qantas Staff are well and truly pissed off
With Qantas' foray into Asia, the company will require a fair amount of employee engagement to get through the inevitable change, hurdles and hard times. Obviously, this will be in short supply, considering the general staff sentiment.
Qantas will therefore need to either ... change their strategy and work towards placating their Staff and rebuild morale; or, employ local Asian staff and "beat them into engagement".
The alternative scenario is .... failure.
The bottom line is ... Qantas NEED their staff onside.
IF they realise this ... then it's a good bargaining tool for the Staff. If they don't, then it's the alternative scenario for you all.
P.S. I just can't see the leopard changing its spots ... under the current regime.
