Funny thing if you look at the Qantas reservation site, there are no flights available until Tuesday morning. After that it is as if QF was operating normally. I thought foolishly that the grounding was until the unions caved in. Do they (QF management) really think it is going to be that fast when it is clear the government has been caught on the back foot and are seriously pissed and the greens who hold the balance of power, have called on the government to back the unions in this fight? Considering this has quite clearly been in the works for some time by QF management, and QF only had their AGM yesterday, I would think that there will be some serious question by the regulators as to why this wasn’t tabled at the AGM, an AGM where the board were re-elected and the Irishman was awarded a 71% pay rise. Funny that isn’t it?
