Qantas is baiting the unions to ramp up action IMO. Its what they want so they can legitimately shrink Qantas down. Surely this is obvious to people??
This is obvious, and has been for some time. The issue is, it is going to be done regardless. That is why the board are not negotiating and wanting the dispute. The dispute is their cover. If there is no dispute, and the basic 3% is accepted with nothing else, we will still be too expensive because LAME's are on $170,000 a piece while the pilots are on $300,00 or so say AJ and OW, and will only delay their shrinking of the airline, not stop it.
