Holy cow.
If it wasn't already obvious, it shows what little regard Qantas management has for their customers, to throw people off aircraft with no notice in the middle of a weekend. The unions gave plenty of warning about upcoming disruptions. This is like the world's biggest Christmas baggie snap strike.
Of course most of the Australian Public Service still flies Qantas (Why, when there are two major airlines? Question for another time
). This will impact on the government's operations as well. All this after a $500 million dollar profit...yeah, they're hurting. Really hurting.
All the best, guys/gals.
How do you say 'hari kari' in gaelic?
How about póg mo thóin, or 'kiss my arse' in English. That's the message to the passengers.
