sincerely hope it works itself out, but whatever happens, the goal posts have shifted forever. And if the worst happens; a heads up; there is no such thing as job security; welcome to the 21st century.
Very, very true, unfortunately for us all in the "west". And true for whatever job you have, not just aviation. There HAS to be a response, somehow, by the "west's" workforce to this state of affairs. Look at Europe, broke, now begging for bail outs from China Brazil, etc. Globalisation - It gets worse for the "western" worker year on year.
Glad to see the Queen got out just in time -Her BA flight wasn't a QF codeshare !!!!!
Good luck to all you Quantas folks, as a Pom SLF I can honestly say you were once the best.
